The current building opened in 1954, with several additions, the latest in 2009. Previous buildings at other sites were built in 1926, 1905, and earlier, as yearbooks indicate MHHS graduates back to 1901. A three-year senior high school (10–12) for decades, freshman returned to the MHHS campus in 2009. The school colors are orange and black and the mascot is a tiger. The MHHS athletic teams compete in the Southern Idaho Conference (SIC) in IHSAA Class 4A, the state's second-highest enrollment classification (160–319 students per class year).
