MIHS is an amazing place for students. Teachers are dedicated and committed. The music program is amazing. Community support for the school district has historically been strong. There is a positive environment including a mental health staff that is supported by the City of Mercer Island.

Mercer Island High School provides a great education, producing well-rounded young people who receive education and opportunities in sports, music, arts and other extra-curricular activities.
6/29/2023
Mercer Island spirit is insane, the students, staff, parents, everyone participates in our spirit days and football games even though our team isn't the best. The academics/teachers are really good and it's not that competitive nor are the students snobby and spoiled like the Mercer Island stereotype everyone else believes in. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at MIHS.

I know a lot of...
