Milford High School (also known as MHS) is the secondary school for the district of Milford, Massachusetts, Milford Public Schools. It is one choice for Milford students to attend high school. Another is Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School. The principal is Mrs. Carolyn Banach. The assistant principals are Mr. Mark McGillivray (House A) and Mr. Richard Piergustavo (House B).
The campus of Milford High School sits on 25 acres (100,000 m2) of land at 31 West Fountain Street in Milford, MA. The current building was opened in 1973. It is arguably the most used, and most active building in the town. Together with the school are a football field, with home and away team seating, a football practice field, softball field, soccer fields, a twenty-five yard swimming pool with springboard diving board, a full theater, and a roughly 750-spot parking lot. It is an SAT, PSAT, and ACT testing center, providing students, both resident and out-of-town, a place to take the required tests. Recently, measures have been taken to provide students with the highest level of security available: school-wide security cameras and lobby sign-in kiosks have been added, as well as a juvenile Milford Police officer present.
The schools is divided into two "houses", A and B. Currently, the grade a student is in determines their house. The House A office is located right next to the media center, in the direction of the C-Wing, and the House B office is located directly above the main office, off of the A-Wing.
The Milford High School building has 6 wings, named A-F.
The A-Wing is the main instructional area of the school. It houses the majority of math classes, English classes, and history classes. There are also government classes taught here.
The B-Wing is the school's main information center. It includes the school's library media center, headed by Nicholas Molinari; video production center, run by Jeremy Folster; professional library, teacher's resource center, faculty lounge, principal's office, reading department, and a few classrooms.
The C-Wing houses the majority of all science classes on the lower floor while on the upper floor it houses the foreign language department which offers Spanish,Portuguese, Italian, and French
The D-Wing is the main technology wing of the school. Computer Science, Photography, and et cetera are located here. There is also a special education room, which includes the Scarlet Bistro, providing gourmet food for the faculty.
