In this paper, a high-accuracy $H^1$-Galerkin mixed finite element method (MFEM) for strongly damped wave equation is studied by linear triangular finite element. By constructing a suitable extrapolation scheme, the convergence rates can be improved from $\mathcal{O}(h)$ to $\mathcal{O}(h^3)$ both for the original variable $u$ in $H^1(Ω)$ norm and for the actual stress variable $\boldsymbol{P}=∇u_t$ in $H$(div;$Ω$) norm, respectively. Finally, numerical results are presented to confirm the validity of the theoretical analysis and excellent performance of the proposed method.
