Mukwonago High School is located in Mukwonago in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, United States. It is part of the Mukwonago Area School District. Approximately 1800 students attend the school, which has over 150 staff members.
The original building at 308 Washington Avenue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 1994, but was delisted on May 12, 2009. The current building, erected in the 1970s, is at 605 W. School Road (Hwy NN) in Mukwonago.
The Mukwonago School District serves the villages of Big Bend and Mukwonago, the Town of Mukwonago, parts of the towns of Eagle, East Troy, Genesee, and Ottawa, part of the village of North Prairie, and part of the city of Muskego.
During the 2009-2010 school year, a Mukwonago High School senior filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction claiming that the Indians mascot and logo were racially discriminatory against Native Americans. The school fought the accusations, but on October 8, 2010, the department stripped the school of the nickname and logo. It called the mascot "unambiguously race-based".
