McHenry Community High School (MCHS) is a four-year public high school located in McHenry, Illinois, a far northwestern suburb of Chicago, Illinois.[2] It is part of McHenry Community High School District 156, which operates two separate campuses: the Freshman Campus and the Upper Campus. The Freshman Campus, established in 1924, currently enrolls 9th-grade students. The Upper Campus, established in 1968, enrolls 10th through 12th-grade students. The high school serves students from McHenry, Wonder Lake, Bull Valley, Holiday Hills, McCullom Lake, and Lakemoor.[3] Since 2021, Jeff Prickett, Ed.D., has been the principal of both campuses. The school's colors are orange and black, and its mascot, Leonidas the Warrior, represents the school's Warrior identity.
