History

Mayfield Independent City School District was established on July 1, 1908 with the selection and meeting of its first Board Members, organized by Mr. W.J. Webb. The first official school year as an independent school district was the 1908-1909 school year. The original loaction of Mayfield High School was on West Walnut Street School which opened in Sept. 1908, and in 1909 the high school moved to Old West KY College Building. A new stadium was built behind the high school and dedicated on Nov. 6, 1925 at the Madisonville/Mayfield Game. Up to this point, games were played at Cyclone Park, which was in the far north corner of what we now know as Maplewood Cemetery.

In 1958 Dunbar was closed and schools were integrated, by Court Order.

Mayfield High School moved to its current building in 1974.[1]
