Mundelein High School (MHS) is a public four-year high school located in Mundelein, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.
The first graduating class was the class of 1962.
In 1996, a $32.8 million, 113,383 sq ft (10,533.6 m2). addition and renovations were made to the original structure. For 2015-2016 a $23.6 million 3-story addition is being built to house classrooms, other workspace and two STEM labs. Scheduled for completion in August 2016.

Mundelein's course offerings include a range of courses, including honors and Advanced Placement classes. It also offers special education, ELL, and bilingual classes. In addition to the classes on the school's campus, students may be approved to take classes at the College of Lake County or at the Lake County Schools Tech Campus. After graduation, about 94% of graduating students go on to further study at post-secondary institutions.
At one time, the school was home to an "Aviation Technology" class from 1980 until the early 2000s in which students constructed an airplane from a kit for private sponsors. The class prepared future aviation technicians. It was one of the few aviation technology programs in a high school. It was removed from the curriculum due to lack of sponsors and a lack of accredited teachers, as the school required teachers to not only hold an Illinois teaching certificate but also either a pilot's license or an airframe-and-powerplant mechanic certificate from the FAA.
MHS recognitions include: In 2015 the school was accepted into the prestigious Schuler Scholar Program which offers motivated, underserved students a competitive advantage in college and in life.
