In June 2006, Saraland, Alabama residents voted, by an overwhelming 70%, to separate from the Mobile County Public School System in order to form their own school district. The Saraland Board of Education was formed on September 15, 2006 and a separation agreement between the two systems was finalized in October 2007. The Saraland City School System received U.S. Department of Justice Pre-Clearance on January 7, 2008 - the final step in its formation.

Saraland High School will be the first school for this newly formed district. Schmidt Consulting Group, Inc. is providing Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Communications design services for the project. The new school will span 157,899 square feet and contain 43 classrooms with a two-story classroom wing; full kitchen and dining facilities; two gymnasiums; a weight room; band/choir rooms; and a theater/auditorium.

The school emphasized classroom technology, providing capabilities for interactive whiteboards, projectors, document cameras and audio enhancement in each and every classroom. This facility is also designated as a FEMA 361 hurricane shelter and includes a generator.
