Mayville High School is a public high school located in Mayville, Wisconsin. It serves grades 9 through 12 and is the only high school in the Mayville School District.

History

The original Mayville High School was built around 1850 as a one-room schoolhouse that housed all grades.[3] The current building was built in 1964.[4] After a failed 2015 referendum,[4] a 2017 referendum to add a STEAM addition to the school passed; construction began in April 2018.[5] In 2015, a possible plan for consolidation with Horicon High School in Horicon, Wisconsin was presented,[6] but the plan never made it past plan stage due to a lack of interest from Horicon.[4]

Demographics

The school is 94 percent white, with Hispanics accounting for four percent of the student body and all other races combining for the other two percent. About a quarter of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.[7]

Academics

MHS students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement classes. About a third of students take part in AP classes.[8]
