History
Molalla High School graduated its first class in 1911. The Molalla Union High School building was dedicated in February 1926, and served as the sophomore, junior and senior campus until the 5.6 Richter Scotts Mills earthquake on March 25, 1993, rendered the building unsafe for students.[3] The current high school, which previously served as a junior/senior campus, has since been renovated to incorporate all four years of high school.
Academics
In 2008, 81% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 182 students, 147 graduated, 15 dropped out, 11 received a modified diploma, and 9 are still in high school.[4][5]
Sports
The school's mascot is the Indian because the city of Molalla was named after the native Molalla Indians who populated the area.
