MHS was built in the 1960's in the southeastern section of Rochester, Minnesota.It is located in the Rochester School District, Independent School District 535, and is home of the Mayo Spartans, whose school colors are the bold Green & Gold. MHS has a capacity to hold slightly over 1800 students and was the largest High School in the city teaching grades 9-12 until Century High was built to help educate the boom of the rapidly expanding community - voted by American City Business Journals as one of the top ten cities in the nation as the best to live.

Architecture

In 2000, the school underwent remodeling to replace asbestos based materials found in its construction. Subsequently, the result created a school which was more environmentally conscientious in design with greater emphasis on meeting the contemporary needs for students of the 21st century as well as having a focus on being more user friendly than before. Unlike the traditional high school design, (MHS) has a circular design. It also features one of the first school-based planetariums in the nation.
