Montcalm High School, a "school within a school", is located in Montcalm, West Virginia, United States. It is the smallest secondary school in the Mercer County Schools district, and currently has approximately 375 students enrolled in grades 7-12.

History

MHS began in 1931, housing grades 7-10.[1] 11th and 12th grade students went on to Bramwell High School.[1] In 1954, a west wing was added to accommodate much needed classrooms, which allowed students to graduate from this school for the first time. In 1964, a gymnasium was built. Due to lack of room, students had to use the elementary school next door to have lunch. In the late 70s a new elementary school was constructed, and students were then bused to the new elementary school. In 1983, a new school was completed,[1] complete with a gym, commons area known as the lunch room, and a band section. In 1991, Bramwell High School was closed,[3] and was consolidated with Montcalm High School.
