Miamisburg High School is a public high school located in Miamisburg, Ohio, United States, serving grades 9-12. The current principal is Craig Morris. It is part of the Miamisburg City School District and is the only high school in Miamisburg. The school athletic teams are known as the Vikings and the school colors are royal blue and white.
The current Miamisburg High School was built in 1972 at approximately 100,000 sq ft and originally featured the controversial but then-popular open plan concept of "classrooms without walls." The building layout featured three classroom pods (later to be called the 100s, 300s and 500s wings) forming a triangle around a center core. The central pod included the main entrance, administrative space, the school library, a 200-seat lecture hall, and a 16,000 square feet (1,500 m2) commons area, the largest "room" in the Miamisburg School District. From its opening in 1972 until the completion of a new classroom wing in 1993, this building housed grades 10, 11, and 12. Ninth grade students occupied the former high school on Sixth Street which subsequently became the 6th grade Neff Elementary School until construction of the new Miamisburg Middle School in 2011. The original 1972 structure was designed by architect Marlin Heist who also designed LaVeta Bauer Elementary School on Springboro Pike in 1967.
The academic pods were completely reprogrammed to follow a more traditional layout within just a few years and MHS received its first addition in 1980. This involved construction of a 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2) two-story gymnasium complex complete with a running track and gymnastics area, locker rooms, and fine arts classrooms (known as the 600's wing). In 1982, a 16,000 square feet (1,500 m2) classroom wing was added which gave the school 16 more classrooms (the 400's wing). These expansions were designed by Van Buren & Firestone Architects and were constructed at the rear corners of the facility.
Expansion came again to Miamisburg High School in 1993 in the form of a modern, 29,000-square-foot (2,700 m2), two-story, glass and brick addition constructed at the front of the school, providing an entirely new facade. This addition (known as the 200s wing) included 20 classrooms, administrative suites, a teachers lounge, and a two-story atrium which serves as a student commons area and entrance lobby. The upper level hallways are tied together by a bridge that spans the atrium. The completion of this structure brought sufficient space to the school to house 9th grade students which had been previously housed in Miamisburg Mid-High School on Sixth Street (later Neff Elementary School). This allowed a comprehensive four-year high school curriculum to be developed at a single campus for the first time since 1971. The 1993 addition was designed by Levin-Porter Associates.
