Middletown High School is a public high school in Middletown, Ohio. It is the only public high school in the Middletown City School District.
The present location of the school was established in the late 1970s, being moved from its original location at 1415 Girard Avenue. [3] The old high school was converted to Middletown Middle School for the remainder of its life until it was demolished in September 2018.[4]
In 2016, a $96 million renovation project began on the high school, updating the building and arena, as well as adding a new middle school building adjacent to it.[5] The new Wade E. Miller Arena was completed and opened in December 2017, and the rest of the building, as well as the new middle school, officially opened in August 2018.
