McGregor High School (MHS) is a public high school located in McGregor, Minnesota. It is K-12 and houses about 500 students and 50 faculty. The school colors are black and white and the school mascot is Mercury, the Roman god of speed.
In 1997 it was discovered that the business manager and another employee of the school had been embezzling funds, leaving a deficit of about $550,000. To keep the school open, the community voted to raise property taxes, and in three years' time administrators managed to balance the budget. They also raised money for large building projects including new classrooms and an auditorium.
