Moncton High School (MHS) is the oldest high school and current heritage property in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Serving 1,300 students from the Moncton area and located in Moncton's inner urban core, MHS is housed in what the Heritage Canada Foundation calls an “outstanding example of Normandy Gothic Revival-style architecture”. However, due to lack of proper and regular maintenance by successive provincial governments, the building deteriorated and is facing closure. In July 2011, following the province's decision to relocate the school to Royal Oaks, a teetering private suburban development on the edge of the city, advocates have fought to maintain the school in its current location.
