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

History

[edit]

The original Mayville High School was built around 1850 as a one-room schoolhouse that housed all grades.[4] The current building was built in 1964.[5]

After a failed 2015 referendum,[5] a 2017 referendum to add a STEAM addition to the school passed; construction began in April 2018.[6]

In 2015, a possible plan for consolidation with Horicon High School in Horicon, Wisconsin was presented,[7] but the plan never made it past plan stage due to a lack of interest from Horicon.[5]

Demographics

[edit]

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.[8]

Academics

[edit]

MHS students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement classes. About a third of students take part in AP classes.[9]

Athletics
