MSMS was founded in 1987 by appropriations from the Mississippi Legislature and is the fourth public, residential high school for academically gifted students in the United States. The school only enrolls students in the last two years of high school. Tenth grade students from across the state apply and are selected to attend.
MSMS, along with its recently created sister school, the Mississippi School for the Arts, are currently being threatened by closure due to the state's ailing budget as of March 2005. However, current discussions in the Mississippi Legislature have suggested charging tuition to its students based on household income.
