Maryville High School is the public high school for Maryville, Missouri. It is the only institution to have the Spoofhound for a mascot.
It competes in the Midland Empire Conference.
It had traditionally been Missouri State High School Activities Association Class III school. However in 2006, it dropped to Class II.
The school's original colors were red and white. When Northwest Missouri State University opened in 1905, the college colors were also red and white. The college changed its colors to green and white. The high school later changed its colors to green and white. Maryville High School football games were played for several decades at Bearcat Stadium on the college campus. The present high school building on the southwest side of Maryville opened in 1966. In the late 1970s the high school began playing its football games in a stadium on its own campus.

Mascot
The Spoofhound was a Plaster of Paris carnival toy from the 1920s. Maryville is now the only school in the country to use the Spoofhound mascot as its mascot. Although originally two words, Maryville uses a one word Spoofhound for its mascot.
Legend has it that the high school received this nickname in the 1920s when the football coach L.E. Ziegler was so angry with the way his squad had looked in practice that as an insult he said they looked like a bunch of "Spoofhounds". The players mockingly referred to one another by this insult and the name stuck. In the 1940s, Ziegler became the superintendent of schools for Columbia, Missouri where the mascot is also named for an early 20th century doll -- the Kewpies.
Maryville's mascot has evolved over the years from a lovable buffoon "Spoofy" to a snarling "Hound."
As of 2006, no other academic institution or sports club had adopted the nickname.
