The history of Muskogee High School started with it's birth in 1970, but the roots for the education of this community can be traced back to before statehood. Muskogee High School came into existence on August 19, 1970, when Central High and Manual Training High were integrated.

The last graduating classes from Central and Manual were in May 1970. The following fall, all high school students integrated to what is now known as Muskogee High School. This marked the end of two historical institutions but spawned a new school to build our traditions on.

In 1925 the Central football team won another state championship and the squad was tagged with the nickname “Roughers” because of their rough play. The current Rougher mascot is a roughneck with a bulldog face symbolizing the Oklahoma oil days and the Manual High bulldog mascot. This mascot we see today was created by MHS students in the mid 1970's. Both the mascot and the term “Roughers” are copyrighted and can never be used by any other institution. Because of the rich history and tradition, the Muskogee High School Roughers have become an icon to the Muskogee community.
