Mercer Island High School
Mercer Island High School (MIHS) is a public high school located in Mercer Island, Washington, United States, as part of the Mercer Island School District.
As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,524 students and 74.51 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 20.45. There were 68 students eligible for free lunch and 31 eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
MIHS adopted a cell-phone free policy in the 2024-25 school year. In the 2025-26 school year the policy was expanded to include personal laptops and tablets.
In 2025, reporting by InvestigateWest and statements from King County prosecutors brought renewed attention to past allegations of sexual misconduct involving two former teachers at Mercer Island High School. The coverage also examined the district’s handling of those cases and its internal review processes (see Sexual misconduct allegations).
During the 2006-07 school year, Mercer Island High School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education.
The school's marching band has traveled to play at national and international events. It participated in the 104th annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, in 1993; the 117th edition in 2006; the 123rd edition in 2012; and the 130th edition in 2019.
In 2011, the band traveled internationally to participate in the 2011 London, England New Year's Day Parade & Festival upon royal invitation. In 2014, the marching band participated in the 116th Victoria Day parade in Victoria, British Columbia; they returned in 2017 for the 119th Victoria Day parade. In 2015, members of the marching and concert bands traveled to Australia as part of a tour including participation in the Australian National Band Championships.
The Mercer Island High School marching band has also performed during the halftimes of several Seattle Seahawks football games at Lumen Field. They performed at the Ring of Honor induction for long-time team owner Paul Allen in 2019. In November 2023, the band participated in the 97th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.
