building proper was finished and the class of 1966 was the first to attend in MHS. Three years later, the
Industrial Arts/Agriculture Wing was added on, allowing students to gain insight into different trades and career paths. In 1973, a social studies wing was added to which the next addition connected to that addition. In 1976, the Fine Arts Wing was added, expanding the school, with the additions including a 900+ seat auditorium with a full scene shop, a band room, a choral chamber, a green room, a black-box theater (later converted into a television studio), as well as numerous classrooms. The first event held in the auditorium was in Spring 1976, "Pow-wow", a student talent/skit event, held on 3 nights, (Thursday-Saturday). The next addition would have been in the 1980's which included a west wing addition including the swimming pool, 2nd gym and other rooms. The most recent addition is the remodeling of the Science and Business Department in 2005: The science laboratories were updated, and an additional lab was built.
316:(especially in the 1970's), the high school had 8 periods a day, starting at 7 a.m. and going until 3:30. Students from base housing attended periods 1-7 (7 a.m.-2:30 p.m.), where as the rest attended periods 2-8 (8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). This was done due the size of the school population which was approximately 1100 students and also for the number of school buses needed. And you have to remember that the 1976 and later additions to the building had not yet been done. Also due to the high percentage of military connected families, the school corporation received large amounts of federal aid which allowed those expansions with relatively no debt to the taxpayers.
