Founded in the early 20th century, the school has connections to local civic institutions and regional cultural organizations while participating in statewide athletic conferences and academic competitions.

Arthur Hill High School traces its origins to the growth of Saginaw during the lumber and manufacturing expansions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, linked to civic leaders and philanthropic figures in the region. The school's construction and later expansions involved municipal planning agencies and contractors who also worked with the City of Saginaw, Saginaw County, and regional transportation projects. Throughout the 20th century, the school underwent renovations concurrent with statewide education reforms enacted by the Michigan Legislature and funding initiatives influenced by bond measures and local elections. During the postwar era, Arthur Hill engaged with federal programs administered by agencies such as the Works Progress Administration and participated in vocational partnerships with organizations modeled after the National Vocational Education Act frameworks. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the school adapted to curricular standards promulgated by the Michigan Department of Education and engaged with regional higher education institutions including Saginaw Valley State University and community colleges to align college preparatory and career-technical offerings.
