It is one of four public high schools within the [[North Clackamas School District]]. The school's mascot is the [[Mustang (horse)|mustang]], and its colors are maroon and gold. == History == [[File:Milwaukie High School Front.jpg|thumb|The front (west entrance) of the second Milwaukie High School main building before it was replaced.]] Milwaukie High School was built in 1907. The first building was replaced in 1925. The current Gym was rebuilt following the Columbus Day storm in 1962. In 2018, the building was deemed unsafe. Therefore, it was rebuilt in the same location with a similar footprint painted in the classic North Clackamas Grey and Tan. Along with a new building, the Gym and Commons (built in 1995) were remodeled, including a newly designed gym floor and modern lighting. The school operated for two years in trailers built in the current track and field areas. The new building was finished in the fall of 2020, with students slated to return amidst the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2021. The new main building was dedicated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 8, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nclack.k12.or.us/district/page/milwaukie-hs-ribbon-cutting-ceremony |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211010230349/https://www.nclack.k12.or.us/district/page/milwaukie-hs-ribbon-cutting-ceremony |archive-date=2021-10-10 |title=Milwaukie HS Ribbon Cutting Ceremony}}</ref> The school's first mascot, the Maroon, fell into disfavor with students because of its similarity to the word "moron."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/1825201125135043820/site/default.asp|title=Milwaukie High School: History|date=2011-01-18|work=North Clackamas School District|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309183528/http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/1825201125135043820/site/default.asp|archive-date=2012-03-09}}</ref> The student body voted on a new mascot, and as a result, the [[Mustang (horse)|mustang]] was chosen. In 2005, the school added the [[Milwaukie Academy of the Arts]] to its campus. This is a charter school that operates with Milwaukie High School's main campus to offer a full course catalog. The school focuses on integrating the arts into core school subject areas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/maa/site/default.asp?|title=Milwaukie Academy of the Arts|date=2011-01-20|work=North Clackamas School District}}</ref> ==Reconstruction== In 2008, the JC Lillie Center for the Arts, the school's performing arts center, underwent a major aesthetic and structural renovation, which included a redeveloped entrance and courtyard, remodeled auditorium, and a notoriously faulty sound system.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nclack.paulclerc.com/milwaukie-high-school.php|title=North Clackamas School District Building Projects|date=2011-01-18|access-date=2011-01-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207021440/http://nclack.paulclerc.com/milwaukie-high-school.php|archive-date=2009-02-07}}</ref> In June 2018, the school's main campus was demolished to make space for a new academic building. Construction of the new structure started in early September 2018 and was completed in August 2021. The new facility will address many of the previous structure's issues, including overcrowding and safety concerns. The new facility was designed by the [[IBI Group]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nclack.k12.or.us/sites/default/files/fileattachments/capital_construction_bond/project/52331/17-0914_mhs_design_presentation_v2.pdf|title=MHS Design Presentation|date=14 September 2017|website=North Clackamas School District|access-date=21 January 2019}}</ref> and [https://www.bric-arch.com/ BRIC Architecture] and is being constructed by [[Skanska]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nclack.k12.or.us/bond/project/milwaukie-high-school-bond-project|title=Milwaukie High School Bond Project |website=North Clackamas School District|language=en|access-date=2019-01-22}}</ref> Until the campus redevelopment concluded, students practiced academics in modular structures located on the school's football field, which was renovated once the academic building reopened and the structures were removed. The school unofficially named the temporary academic structures "Mod City." A very old tree that was previously outside the main entrance had to be cut down due to it being in the way of construction. Out of respect to it, part of the trunk has been preserved and is on display on the second floor hallway. The tree was around 120 years old when cut down. ==Living History Day== Since 1996, Milwaukie High School has annually hosted the nationally recognized <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.virtualschoolhouse.net/lh_o.htm|title=Living History Day: Milwaukie High School|date=2011-01-18}}</ref> Living History Day. On this day, thousands of veterans are welcomed into the school to help educate students about past wars and provide first-hand accounts of military experiences. Unfortunately, this was cut in 2010 due to a lack of funding and staffing reductions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/18231092321334537/cwp/view.asp?A=3&Q=329640&C=59987|title=North Clackamas School District News Release|date=2010-10-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324132329/http://www.nclack.k12.or.us/18231092321334537/cwp/view.asp?A=3&Q=329640&C=59987|archive-date=2012-03-24}}</ref> ==Academics== In 2014, out of 260 seniors, 220 graduated, for an 83% graduation rate.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/education/index.ssf/2009/06/high_school_dropout_rates.html|title=State releases high school graduation rates|date=2009-06-30|work=[[The Oregonian]]|access-date=2009-07-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.oregonlive.com/education_impact/2009/06/Dropout-Rates.xls |title=Oregon dropout rates for 2008 |date=2009-06-30 |work=[[The Oregonian]] |access-date=2009-07-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916010203/http://blog.oregonlive.com/education_impact/2009/06/Dropout-Rates.xls |archive-date=2011-09-16 }}</ref> ==Athletics== Milwaukie High School has competed in the [[Northwest Oregon Conference]] at the 5A classification since 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nwoc5a.org/info/default.asp|title=Northwest Oregon Conference|date=2011-01-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140313170211/http://nwoc5a.org/info/default.asp|archive-date=2014-03-13}}</ref> The Pony Prancers dance team won first place in their division at the OSAA State Championships in 1986, 1996, 2011, 2012, and 2016.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} The Mustangs have two state wrestling titles. 1973 and 1984.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} == Notable alumni == *[[Dorothy Hester Stenzel]], stunt pilot<ref>{{Cite news|title=Portland woman flew for fun and records|last=Harlan|first=David|date=11 July 1985|work=The Oregonian}}</ref> *[[Latin Berry]], former NFL player * [[Kendrick Bourne]], professional football player for the New England Patriots * [[Dustin Corea]], American-born Salvadorian professional soccer player<ref name="Reds battled 'head to head'">{{cite news|title=Reds battled 'head to head'|date=13 October 1961|work=[[The Bulletin (Bend)]]}}</ref> * [[Brad Ecklund]], former NFL player and coach * [[Gary Babcock Gordon|Gary Gordon]], co-inventor of the [[Optical mouse|modern optical computer mouse]] * [[Tonya Harding]], figure skating champion (dropped out)<ref>{{cite news|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1994-01-16/news/9401160326_1_rival-skater-nancy-kerrigan-tonya-harding-ice-skating-world|title=Harding Spends 'A Hard Week' - Chicago Tribune|last=Dellios|first=Hugh|date=16 January 1994|work=[[Chicago Tribune]]|access-date=28 December 2011}}</ref> * [[Keynan Middleton]], professional baseball player for the Los Angeles Angels * [[Jerry Zimmerman]], professional baseball player and coach<ref name="Reds battled 'head to head'"/> ==References== {{reflist}} {{authority control}} [[Category:1907 establishments in Oregon]] [[Category:Educational institutions established in 1907]] [[Category:High schools in Clackamas County, Oregon]] [[Category:Milwaukie, Oregon]] [[Category:Public high schools in Oregon]]'
