Minot High School (MHS) is the public high school in Minot, North Dakota, divided between two main campuses: Magic City (grades 11-12) and Central (grades 9-10).

Contents

In the 1970s, the high school split into two locations to accommodate the ever-growing population of high school students. While the Magic City school was being built in 1972, current students at the Central campus submitted name suggestions for the new school. "Magic City" was the winning name suggestion given by junior Cindy Frueh, who received $50 for the contribution. The Magic City Campus opened 43 years ago in 1974 in southwest Minot, and the Central Campus occupies the original 1918 high school building at 215 First Street Southeast, just east of downtown (48.234°N 101.291°W / 48.234; -101.291).

Drawing its students from the city of Minot and Minot Air Force Base, MHS has one of the largest enrollments in the state.

MHS also includes an alternative campus: Souris River Campus. About 2,100 students attend the various campuses, all of which are part of the Minot Public Schools system.

Facilities

JLG Architects recently renovated all of Minot Central High School's campus. Key issues that were addressed were the efficiency of the building and out-of-date building code issues. A 600-seat auditorium and a wellness center were added

Athletics

The boys' athletic teams are known as the "Magicians" or "Magi", while the girls' teams are called the "Majettes". Minot is historically known as the "Magic City," in reference to rapid growth in its early railroad days. The school's mascot is a magician and the varsity teams compete against the largest high schools in the state in Class A (Class AAA for football, see North Dakota High School Activities Association).
