Medway High School is located at 88 Summer Street, Medway, Massachusetts.
The High School is the newest of the four schools in Medway. The building was completed in 2003 and the school saw its first graduating class in 2005. As of 2004 the high school had 771 students and 52 teachers, with a teacher:student ratio of 1:15. In 2008, approximately 217 10th grade students participated in the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System exam. The passing rate was 97% for both the Math and English Language sections, and 89% for the Science section.
The Medway Mustangs have a strong athletic program in general and have won a considerable amount (18) of State Championships in the past 30 years. Medway has been a prominent soccer town for the past three decades. The Mustangs particularly dominated from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. Medway made it to the South State Finals 8 out of nine years from 1987-1995 and back again for another State Title in 1998 to go along with the 2 they already brought home in 1990 and 1993.
The most recent state championships have been Boys Soccer (2000), Girls Soccer (2001), and Girls Volleyball (2001 & 1999).
Medway is a member of the Tri Valley League (TVL), traditionally a competitive league made up of mainly Division II and III schools. In 2012, the boys Ice Hockey team appeared in the State Finals at TD Garden. In 2008 the Mustangs won a Co-Share of the TVL for Football, which they shared with Norton High School.
Some other recent TVL tiles since 1995 include:
The 2001 Girls Volleyball team finished their season undefeated at 25-0. They won an unbelievable 55 of 56 total sets played during that streak. They had also appeared in the state finals in 2000 and had won the state finals in 1999.
The Boys Baseball team enjoyed a historic season of their own in 2002, finishing 22-2 and easily capturing the TVL title with a regular season record of 19-1. Seven of the nine players in the starting line-up were seniors.
The years of 1998-2002 were particularly impressive for Medway athletics as they enjoyed 5 state championships, 6 state finals appearances and 8 TVL titles. All of these accomplishments came from boys soccer, girls soccer, girls volleyball and boys baseball.
The 2014 football season had mixed results. While the Varsity team had a measly record of 3-8, the JV (Junior Varsity) squad had a different story to tell. Boasting the crucial leadership of several players who were juniors at the time, they dominated their way to an incredible 9-2 record. Their only losses were to Stoneham and Hopkinton, both of which were very close losses. This amazing feat of football prowess has not been replicated since, and it seems as if this is a record that will not be broken, living on in Medway Football lore for years to come.
