History

Maplewood Richmond Heights School District was established in 1876 after St. Louis split from St. Louis County. The original high school building, designed by famed school architect William B. Ittner, built in 1929, is still standing and in use today.[2][3]

As of 2022 the building has been undergoing major renovations and expansion.

Sports

In fall 2007, Maplewood's football team was undefeated in the regular season, losing to Blair Oaks, the defending state champions, in the state championship semifinal round with a score of 42–14. Maplewood's final record for the season was 12–1.[4]

In 2015, Maplewood Richmond Heights High School canceled its football program for the 2015–2016 season. Reasons included a lack of interest among the student body, injuries, and school size.[5] Soccer replaced football for the school's homecoming game.[6]

In the fall of 2015, the MRH Blue Devils soccer team broke the school's single season record in wins (20) after finishing the 2015–16 season 20–6.
