History

Mason High School's first commencement was held May 21, 1886, at the Mason Presbyterian Church. The seven graduates completed the three-year high school program and each read their topic paper at the graduation ceremony. Professor Louis Coleman was the school superintendent and possibly the only teacher in the high school.[2]

Current

The current Mason High School facility opened for the 2002-03 school year with 379,000 square feet on a 73-acre campus.[3] In 2009, a $30 million expansion project added 49 classrooms in two new, three-story wings.[4] Opened in 2003, and connected to the high school, is the 149,000 square-foot Mason Community Center, which features an Olympic-sized competition swimming pool, therapy pools, six basketball courts, fitness rooms and exercise equipment. It was a joint project of the City of Mason and Mason City Schools.[5] [6]

As of the 2020-21 school year, Mason High School's enrollment is 3,507 students.[7] It is the largest high school by enrollment in the state of Ohio.[8]
