McGregor High School

For the school in Texas, see McGregor High School (Texas).

McGregor High School (MHS) is a public high school located in McGregor, Minnesota. It is K-12 and houses about 500 students and 50 faculty. The school colors are red, white and black and the school mascot is Mercury, the Roman god of speed.

MHS made the news in 1997 when it was discovered that the business manager and another employee had been embezzling funds, leaving a deficit of about $550,000. To keep the school open, the community voted to raise property taxes, and in three years' time administrators managed to balance the budget. They also raised money for large building projects including new classrooms and an auditorium.
