Marshwood High School is a school in York County, Maine, United States. It serves the towns of Eliot, South Berwick, and Rollinsford, New Hampshire (Rollinsford is the bordering town to South Berwick). It has been at its current location at 260 Dow Highway (Route 236) in South Berwick since September 1999, when it was moved from its previous location in Eliot. The current site is about 10 miles (16 km) from both Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Kittery, Maine.

The school's mascot is the Hawk. The original mascot was the Aristocrats, but quickly changed when a dirty joke involving aristocrats became popular in the late 1970s.

The school offers a variety of varsity athletics. It currently holds the state championship conference title in football and is defending the state girls' alpine skiing conference title and state champion title.

The school has won multiple SMAA championships in recent years. In the 2010-2011 season, boys' alpine skiing, wrestling, and cheering all won SMAA. In the 2011-2012 school year the school's field hockey team placed second in Class A.

History

In 1966, the towns of Eliot and South Berwick joined to form MSAD #35, and a new high school was built on Depot Road in Eliot. The high school was relocated to Rte. 236 in South Berwick in 2000.[1]
