Martha's Vineyard Regional High School or MVRHS is a high school in Oak Bluffs on the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, United States.
History
MVRHS opened in September 1959.[10] It is the larger of the two high schools located on Martha's Vineyard, the other being the Martha's Vineyard Public Charter School in West Tisbury. MVRHS is part of the Martha's Vineyard Public Schools and serves the six towns on the island: Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, Tisbury, West Tisbury, Chilmark and Aquinnah.
Academics
MVRHS has a vocational program that offers training in automotive, building trades, horticulture, culinary, and child care.[11] MVRHS offers an alternative program known as the Rebecca Amos Institute, an open-campus program offering individualized instruction for a small group of students.[12] Students can choose to engage in extracurricular activities ranging from community service, sports, art, drama and debate. MVRHS won two National Blue Ribbon School Awards.[13]. MVRHS is one of the very few schools to have won this honor two times. Most recently, MVRHS was the only public high school in Massachusetts selected for Award and one of 111 nationwide.[14]
Athletics
The MVRHS football team, the Vineyarders, and the Nantucket Whalers football team have a long-standing rivalry, culminating in the annual Island Cup. In 2010 the U.S. Marine Corps chose to include the Nantucket vs. Martha's Vineyard football game on their list of 42 Great American Rivalries. It was the only New England football game to make the list. Currently, the Vineyarders possess the cup, and have for seven years.[15]
The boys' ice hockey team won state championships in 1998-1999 (Division 3) and 2000-2001 (Division 2).
