McLoughlin High School (formerly McLoughlin Union High School), known as Mac-Hi, is a public high school in Milton-Freewater, Oregon, United States. It is part of Milton-Freewater Unified School District.[2][3]

It is named after John McLoughlin, a prominent 19th century trader, for his contributions to the state of Oregon.

History

Milton-Freewater's first school was founded in 1872. In 1879 a four-room school was constructed and later expanded in 1909 with the construction of Central School (now Central Middle School).[3] This building housed the town's high school until 1922 when the construction of McLoughlin Union High School was completed. The red and white brick structure, built in 1921 to 1922, originally consisted of three wings housing eight classrooms, a library, study hall, science labs, a 1,100-seat auditorium, an industrial arts wing, and a gymnasium.[4] Over 100 years later, the remodeled building continues daily operations in an expanded campus. It is supplemented with five additional buildings, including a dedicated gymnasium and industrial arts center.

In 1922, the school began operation with 231 students and 12 teachers.[5] By 2023, it served approximately 520 students with a staff of 29 teachers and 13 support staff.[2]
