Madisonville-North Hopkins High School (MNHHS) is a public school located on the north side of Madisonville, Kentucky. The school was consolidated in 1968 as North Hopkins High School during desegregation, from a merger of Madisonville High School and African American Rosenwald High School. It is one of two high schools in the Hopkins County Public Schools District, the other being Hopkins County Central High School, with which MNHHS has a heated rivalry.
