Middleburg is also home to one of the only health block classes in Clay County, and hosts several vocational academies, including the Academy of Agriscience and Automotive, the Academy of Architecture, Construction, and Interior Design, and the newly established Academy of Information Technology.

Middleburg High’s extracurricular activities range widely from the traditional Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), National Honor Society, and chorus to less conventional clubs such as anime. Student participation in FFA and NJROTC is particularly high.
