History

Opened in fall 1969, the school is the oldest of the five high schools on Saipan. It replaced the high school program at Hopwood Junior High School, which closed in 1968 when Typhoon Jean occurred.[1]

In June 2011, as a result of years of effort, Marianas High School proudly announced it achieved above average scores on 5 of the 8 Stanford Achievement Test Series (SAT 10). The overall average score puts MHS in the 51st percentile. This was the first time a CNMI high school has outperformed the national average. In 2013, five MHS students were named AP Scholars and two were named Scholars with Honors by the CollegeBoard. In addition, three MHS students were named Gates Scholars in recognition of their outstanding academic performance. Finally, in 2013, the MHS STEM team won a National Championship for its unmanned search and rescue plane, the first national championship ever won by a US territory. Then again in late 2015, the MHS STEM team won another National Championship led by fellow instructor Mr. John D. Raulerson.

Notable alumni
gollark: If they have physical manifestations, they aren't what I mean and they aren't what you seem to mean.
gollark: Which ones, specifically? I mean, we have lots of fields doing some of that. Economics, politics, sociology, psychology, sort of thing.
gollark: The issue with saying "realm of spirit" instead of just "information [which doesn't physically exist]" is that you then have all the various vaguely religion-y connotations which you can then use to "prove" other things.
gollark: There aren't any (known) "people" who aren't also "humans", and humans physically exist, according to research.
gollark: Currently, yes.
