History

Mason City High School was established in 1890. A new building was erected at 22 N. Georgia Avenue in 1917. The current high school building at 1700 4th Street SE was constructed in 1966 after the 1917 building became overcrowded due to the rapidly growing student population during the 1946-1964 "Baby Boom". Later, the 1917 building was renovated into a public services office building, and is called Mohawk Square.

The current building shares its campus with John Adams Middle School (7-8 grade), which was built in the early 1960s as a junior high school.
