Mount Desert Island High School (MDIHS) is a public high school in Bar Harbor, Maine, United States. It was established in 1968 and is part of the Mount Desert Island Regional School District.




History


Mount Desert Island High School opened in fall 1968, absorbing students from Bar Harbor High School, Pemetic High School and Mount Desert High School (which previously merged with Gilman). Consolidation votes in 1949 and 1959 failed, but a successful 1965 vote started the process. Proponents of the consolidation stressed more opportunities for students and a better preparation for the professional life, while dissenters stressed a loss of local identity. After the consolidation, students from the three high schools stayed in cliques according to geographic area.
In 2019, the school converted to relying solely on solar energy.
