History
Milwaukie High School's existence dates back as early as 1907. Originally constructed in 1925, the oldest portion of the three-story building that houses the school today is one of the oldest buildings in the city of Milwaukie.
The school's first mascot, the Maroons, fell into disfavor with students because of its similarity to the word "moron." The student body voted on a new mascot and as a result the mustang was elected to replace the Maroons as the school's mascot.
In 2005, the school added the Milwaukie Academy of the Arts to its campus. The charter school operates in conjunction with Milwaukie High School's main campus to offer a full course catalog. The school focuses on integrating the arts into core school subject areas.
In 2008-2009, the school underwent a significant renovation of its music and athletic facilities.
Living History Day
Since 1996, Milwaukie High School has annually hosted the nationally recognized Living History Day. On this day thousands of veterans are welcomed into the school to help educate students about past wars, and provide first-hand accounts of military experiences. Unfortunately, this was cut in 2010 to lack of funding and staffing reductions.
Academics
In 2014, out of 260 seniors, 220 graduated with an 83% graduation rate.
Athletics
Milwaukie High School has competed in the Northwest Oregon Conference at the 5A classification since 2010.
The dance team, the Pony Prancers, won first place in their division at the OSAA State Championships in 2011, 2012 and 2016.
