History
The original Mayville High School was built around 1850 as a one-room schoolhouse that housed all grades.[2] The current building was built in 1964.[3] After a failed 2015 referendum,[3] a 2017 referendum to add a STEAM addition to the school passed; construction began in April 2018.[4] In 2015, a possible plan for consolidation with Horicon High School in Horicon, Wisconsin was presented,[5] but the plan never made it past plan stage due to a lack of interest from Horicon.[3]
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.[6]
Academics
MHS students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement classes. About a third of students take part in AP classes.[7]
Athletics
The Cardinals compete in the Wisconsin Flyway Conference, and fluctuate between divisions two through four for various sports.[1]
Extracurricluars
MHS has a competitive mixed-gender show choir, the Cardinal Singers,[8] and at one point had a competitive girls-only show choir.[9] Cardinal Singers has won competitions as recently as 2016.[10]
