History and academics
During the late 1960s, Martinsburg struggled due to budgetary constraints. The school had a different principal each year in 1968, 1969, and 1970, and did not have any cafeteria facilities on the premises. MHS graduated three National Merit Scholars in 1971.
In 2011, Martinsburg High School became the 623rd official chapter of the Science National Honor Society. Martinsburg High School was the sixth high school in West Virginia to be recognized by the Science National Honor Society.
