Maple Grove Senior High is one of three, three-year public high schools in the Osseo Area School District 279. It primarily serves the city of Maple Grove and , but students from other areas such as Osseo, Plymouth, Corcoran and Dayton also attend the high school. The racial makeup of the nearly 2000 students attending the school is 93% Caucasian, 3% Asian-American and 3% African-American, with the remaining 1% Hispanic or Native American. The school mascot is Leafy, a crimson and gold maple leaf. The school offers vast extracurricular activities such as National Honor Society, FIRST Robotics program and an active student council.
