Don't be a stranger to the Orange and Brown! Join Mauldin High School's rich tradition of excellence and support the hometown heroes in the classroom and on the field this fall. At Mauldin, we cherish our legacy of success - Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics, National Champion Scott Wingo, and actor Orlando Jones have all called the halls of MHS home and all-stars have graced our halls since the school was founded in 1973. The Mauldin family extends across the globe: our graduates are on the front-lines of the Middle East and on the cutting-edge of technology and scientific discovery. As Maverick Pride continues to reach far and wide, we invite you to join our family this year as we strive to make our mark on our communities by breaking barriers and building dreams.

Open the gates and prepare for the stampede; the Mavs are taking to the halls once more! We’re ready to show the world that our generation is more than just another group of teens- we're Mavericks and we're ready to take charge!

Aside from record breaking temperatures, things have been heating up at MHS –teams are hitting the turf, drums fill the air and clubs are hard at work planning for a great year.
