Mount Desert Island High School (MDIHS) is a public high school in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States. It was established in 1968 and is part of the Mount Desert Island Regional School District.
Mount Desert Island High School opened in fall 1968, absorbing students from Bar Harbor High School, Pemetic High School and Mount Desert High School (which previously merged with Gilman). [2] Consolidation votes in 1949 and 1959 failed, but a successful 1965 vote started the process. [3] Proponents of the consolidation stressed more opportunities for students and a better preparation for the professional life, while dissenters stressed a loss of local identity. [3] After the consolidation, students from the three high schools stayed in cliques according to geographic area. [4]
In 2019, the school converted to relying solely on solar energy. [5]
Beginning in 2020, the Trojan football team played in an 8-man format. [6] They had previously played in the Big 11 Football Conference. [7]
The school achieved the following state championships:
The school fields three vocal ensembles a concert choir and two competitive show choirs: a mixed-gender group and the all-female "Trojan Trebles". [20] The school also has many instrumental ensembles including a pep band, symphonic band, string orchestra, competition jazz big band, and several jazz combos. [21] In 2008 and 2011 the school's pep band performed in the London New Years Day parade. [22]
The music department has achieved the following state championships:
Show Choir — 2013, [23] 2015, [24] 2016, [25] 2018, 2019 [26]
Jazz Big Band — 1988, [27] 2016 [28]
MDI has a theater program that produces three or four shows a year. A fall musical, winter competition one-act play, and one or two spring plays. [29]
MDI Drama has achieved the following state championships.
One-Act Play [30]— 1969, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1983, 1996, 2017, 2018
The school has had a strong VEX robotics team. In 2018 the team won the Maine State Championship. [31] In 2021 MDIHS introduced an esports team. [32] The team won the League of Legends State Championship in 2021. [33]
