Maurepas High School's origin was in classes taught by Jeremiah Palmer in a church building during the 1850's. The building is said to have been destroyed in an 1862 forest fire, but a one-room school was erected in 1866 near Catfish Landing and classes were taught by B.K. Benefield.

In 1886, the Grange farming association put up a building for their own use, but attendance at the public school had increased and the Grange two-room building was pressed into service for classes.

The mission of Maurepas School is to help all students learn and grow, and give their best each day.
