Athletics

Midland High School competes in the Tri-County Conference and is a member school in the Illinois High School Association. Their mascot is the Timberwolves, with school colors of dark green, silver, and black. The school has no state championships on record in team athletics and activities. Due to their small enrollment, MHS coops with nearby Henry-Senachwine High School for Boys and Girls Cross Country, and Boys and Girls Track and Field (in addition to Henry-Senachwine, Lowpoint-Washburn High School is also part of the coop for Boys Football).^[1][4][5]

History

Midland High School was formed out of the 1995 consolidation of Sparland High School and Mid-County High School (a successor of the Varna High School and Lacon High School consolidation after World War II)^[6]. Surrounding communities may have also possessed high schools at some time which were consolidated into the current MHS (Potential reference/citation:^[4][7]).
