Cabell Midland High School is located in Ona, West Virginia. Cabell Midland is a four year high school which serves grades 9 through 12. The school's name is derived from two different sources; "Cabell" for the county in which it is located, and "Midland" for the famous Midland Trail which once laid from Norfolk, Virginia to Los Angeles, California. The majority of the students come from the eastern part of Cabell County, including Milton Middle School and Barboursville Middle School. The school was constructed in 1994 because of the controversial consolidation of Barboursville High School and Milton High School. CMHS total student body population was 1,833 for the 2006-2007 school year. The approximately 286,000-square-foot (26,600 m2) building was designed by Charleston WV architectural firm of Williamson Shriver Architects. The design received an Honor Award for Architectural Excellence from the West Virginia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA-WV) in 1995. The school's head principal as of the 2007-2008 school year is David Tackett.
