History edit
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 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.[7]
Academics edit
MHS students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement classes. About a third of students take part in AP classes.[8]
Athletics edit
The Cardinals compete in the Wisconsin Flyway Conference, and fluctuate between divisions two through four for various sports.[9]
Extracurricluars edit
MHS has a competitive mixed-gender show choir, the Cardinal Singers,[10] and at one point had a competitive girls-only show choir.[11] Cardinal Singers has won competitions as recently as 2016.[12]
