Mandeville High School is a four-year public high school located in Mandeville, Louisiana, a northern suburban of New Orleans. It is part of the St. Tammany Parish Public Schools system. MHS was named a Blue Ribbon school in 2002.[3] In addition to serving most of Mandeville, the school also serves the nearby towns of Madisonville[4] and Lewisburg.[5]

History

The original Mandeville school was founded in 1918, with an enrollment of 138 students in grades 1-10.[6] As the region's population increased through 1971, more students enrolled, and the school was split into an elementary, middle, and high school. In 1979, the current building for Mandeville High School was constructed, and the old Mandeville school building became the junior high school.[6]
