It is located a few miles northeast of Michigan State University on Marsh Road between Haslett Road and Grand River Avenue.

In September 1900, a two-room brick building was constructed on present-day School Street near the current location of Vera Ralya Elementary School.

"Haslett School" was taught in this building until 1910 when a second story addition was constructed adding more classrooms.

Later that year—and the following year—land was bought for the building of a new high school south of Franklin Street.

By 1958, Haslett High School was built with room for 400 students.
