MNHHS is one of two high schools in the Hopkins County school district, the other being Hopkins County Central High School.

Activities

The Madisonville North Hopkins Marching Maroon Band regularly competes in the Kentucky State Marching Band Championships and were finalists in 1986, 1989, 1993, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, and are the 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 state AAAA champions.

The Madisonville North Hopkins Maroon "powerlifting" team has won the AAA state championship for 4 years, however, it is not a KHSAA sponsored sport.

The Future Problem Solving team won the international championship in 2006 and 2007. The Academic Team has won District 5 and Region 2 for the past 6 years, placed 2nd at State in 2006, and placed 3rd at state in 2007.

The Madisonville North Hopkins Maroon cheerleaders were the 2009 KAPOS Small Varsity State Champions.

The school recently added an Archery Team in 2012. The team will compete against the surrounding counties, KHSAA does not recognize this as a sponsored sport, much like the Powerlifting team.

In the present context, the school no longer encompasses a competitive bass fishing team, yet it is noteworthy that there exists a collective desire among the students for the school to feature a fishing team.
