• The Varsity Winter Guard Team placed third at the Winter Guard International National Championships in April.  Milford is the first school from Ohio in 11 years to receive a medal!  For next year, the team has been promoted from Scholastic A to Scholastic Open class – there are only 60 schools in the nation who compete at this level, and Milford is one of three from Ohio.
• Milford’s Nutrition department was recognized by Ohio Education Matters as one of the most efficient food service providers in the state.
