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.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Men are in the main alike, but they were made several in order that they might be various. If a low use is to be served, one man will do nearly quite as well as another; if a high one, individual excellence is to be regarded.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
They never cared for school anyway.
And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
