Moscow High School
Moscow High School (MHS) is a four-year public high school in Moscow, Idaho, United States. The flagship school of the Moscow School District serves grades 9–12. Since 2013, Erik Perryman has served as principal. MHS colors are red, black, and white, and the mascot is a bear.
The school district (which serves as the high school's attendance boundary) includes Moscow and Viola. On the Palouse in north central Idaho, Moscow is the home of the University of Idaho.
Less than three blocks east of Main Street on a moderate slope, its current compact campus opened 87 years ago in 1939, with wings added in 1968 and 1991. The previous high school of 1912 is across Third Street to the north; it was used as the junior high until 1959 and is now the "1912 Center." The original high school of 1892 was on the site of the present north wing; it was later Whitworth grade school and was razed in 1939.
Originally a four-year high school, MHS was a senior high school (grades 10–12) for 46 years, beginning in 1966. The school district reconfigured in 2012 and Moscow High returned to a four-year school in August with the addition of the freshman class. A summer asbestos removal project was initiated in 2014 and extended into the school year due to delays.
An attempt to fund a new campus on the northeast edge of the city (east of Mountain View Park; 46°44′38″N 116°58′08″W / 46.744°N 116.969°W) was defeated by voters 21 years ago in 2005. The levy needed a two-thirds majority to pass and was defeated with only 44% in favor. Twenty seven years earlier in 1978, the state education department's supervisor of support services completed a study of the campus and recommended that the site be sold and a new high school built elsewhere.
In the oldest part of Moscow, the MHS campus became the location of an archeological dig by the university's department of sociology and anthropology in autumn 2019.
Moscow's athletic teams compete in IHSAA Class 5A, the second-highest in the state, in the Inland Empire League (5A). MHS competed against the largest schools in Idaho in Class A-1 (now 5A) until the fall of 1979. It was dropped a classification level in 1976, but successfully appealed for three years to stay. Moscow opted not to petition in 1979 and went down to A-2 (now 3A), and moved between A-2 and A-1 (Div. II) until the new IHSAA classification system placed them in 4A in 2001. After the fall of 2024, Moscow was moved back to the 5A division against
Moscow's most successful run in athletics came in baseball under longtime head coach Gary Johnson. In an eight-season stretch from 1978 through 1985, the Bears were in seven state title games and won five, including three consecutive (1982–84). The Bears won their sixth state baseball championship in 2024, defeating perennial powerhouse Bishop Kelly 7–6 in the Idaho Class 4A championship game under head coach Griffin Rod, their first state baseball title since 1984.
