Built in the 1950s as Ann Arbor High School on West Stadium Boulevard at South Main Street, kitty-corner to Michigan Stadium, by the 1960s it was already getting full; Huron High School was built in 1967 to relieve crowding and Ann Arbor High was renamed Pioneer, after its mascot. In 1968, students from the old and new schools shared the old building in a split schedule, with Pioneer students attending classes in the morning and Huron students in the afternoon. Somewhat oddly, the mascot was kept, and the school's sports teams are known as the Pioneer Pioneers.

Pioneer is built in a fairly traditional and boxy form; reaction to its "factory-like" design was a large factor in Huron's distinctive form.

As of 2000, Pioneer had an official capacity of approximately 1,800 students, but had an enrollment approaching 2,300. Overcrowding problems at both schools led to serious discussion about building a new high school, now (2006) under construction on Maple Road north of M-14.
