Mascoma Valley Regional High School (MVRHS) is a public secondary school in Canaan, New Hampshire. Surrounding towns that attend MVRHS are Grafton, Enfield, Orange, and Dorchester. The facility, opened in 1963, is located on Royal Road, off of U.S. Route 4. It is adjacent to the Indian River School, which houses grades five through eight. The school colors are Purple and Gold; the mascot is a panther and teams are known as “The Royals.”
On March 11, 2014, district voters approved a $21.5 million renovation. The plan, which includes improved parking and access, efficiency upgrades, a new auditorium, library, band room, art room, expanded laboratories, and certain life safety upgrades (a sprinkler system), garnered nearly 63% of the vote (60% was necessary for the bond to pass). Previous attempts to either construct an entirely new high school or to renovate the existing structure had failed, including 2013's attempt which failed with 59+% of the vote.
Renovations to the existing building commenced in 2015[2] and were completed over the summer in 2016. The school opened the new addition on September 6, 2016.
