Milford High School, a public high school in the Huron Valley School District serving students in ninth through twelfth grades, is located in Highland Township in Oakland County, Michigan, near Highland. The school was founded in 1861. After over a century in Milford, the school moved to its present location in Highland Township in 1956. The new high school would survive the 1976 opening of Lakeland High School and has been renovated and expanded several times since. The athletic teams were originally called the Trojans when the school was located in downtown Milford, Michigan. Later the teams were renamed to the Redskins. Ultimately, the mascot was changed to the Mavericks during the 2002-2003 school year. The new athletic team name—the Mavericks—was adopted after a school-wide vote.
The school colors are officially cardinal red and white; however, other colors have been featured prominently in athletic uniforms over the years, including maroon, gold, silver and black.
During the late 1980s and through the 1990s Milford excelled in a variety of sports. This trend started when the baseball team finished as state runners up in 1989. In 1989/90 the men's basketball team had an undefeated regular season, and finished 23-1 (That team also featured 5 starters with a GPA above 3.75). The 1990s also produced several All-State Cross Country and Track athletes, along with Milford's first Class A state championship in Equestrian.
The football team is in the West Division of the Kensington Lakes Activities Association. Milford lost in the elite 8 of the MSHAA Division 1 Football playoffs to Rockford High School 21-14 in 2006. Milford has consistently been a Track & Field and Cross Country powerhouse. Consistently producing the area's top distance runners. Recently the boys Milford High School Cross Country Team has also won five division 1 state championships (2003, 2004, 2011, 2012, 2013). Milford was named cross country team of the decade (2000-2009). In 2014 the Girls Volleyball Team won the district title after defeating District host Hartland in five sets. The team went on to the regional semifinals, losing to rival Lakeland in five sets.
