Mooresville High School is a public high school located in Mooresville, Indiana.
Mooresville was the first high school in central Indiana, built in 1861 as a subscription high school with students from as far away as Iowa boarding with local residents to attend school. [1] The expense of operating the school was met by charging a tuition fee. In the first year, the school operated during a fall session at a cost of $11 and a spring session at a cost of $9. Beginning in the fall of 1862, the school held three sessions each year at a cost of $7.50 for each pupil enrolled for each session. Students who lived outside Mooresville boarded with local families at a cost of $1.50 to $2 per week.
The community of Mooresville is located southwest of Indianapolis, Indiana. The school district includes the Town of Mooresville as well as Brown Township, Madison Township, and Harrison Township.
As of the 2023-2024 school year, about 1,380 students attend Mooresville High School in grades 9-12.
In 2005, Mooresville was the first high school to win the national State Farm Project Ignition Teen Safe Driving Program. [2]
In 2006, the school's Junior State of America was honored as the JSA National Chapter of the Year by receiving the National Civic Impact award. The program was recognized as JSA National Chapter of the Year again in the early 2010s. The chapter continued to receive recognition at the state and national level until JSA's worldwide closure in 2024. [3]
