Milford High School, a grade 9-12 high school in the Huron Valley School District, is located in Highland, Michigan. The school was founded in 1869. 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. Those whom graduated in 2005 were the last class known as the Redskins. The new athletic team name—the Mavericks—was adopted after a NON 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.

Extracurricular activities

The football team is in the Kensington Lakes Activities Association West Division (KLAA). 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 two, back-to-back division 1 state championships (2003 and 2004). Milford was named cross country team of the decade (2000-2009).

The surrounding area's growth has allowed Milford (and sister school Lakeland) to expand the athletics programs further in recent years. After adding a large field house and pool complex, Milford now has a competitive swim and dive team. Milford offers Varsity Sports letters in a very wide range of sports including: Baseball, Football, Basketball, Softball, Track and Field, Cross Country, Wrestling, Ice Hockey (Mens), Volleyball (Women's), Golf, Soccer, Tennis, Ski, Lacrosse, Equestrian and the new Swim teams.

The school's business oriented club, DECA, is also very successful with many of its students reaching national competitions. Recently, Milford placed four students in the top 20 internationally at the International Competition in 2009. The H.O.T. (Heroes of Tomorrow) robotics team, with the extensive help of General Motors engineers, finished first at the 2005, 2009, and 2010 FIRST Robotics Competition Championship Event. This team is a combination team between students from Milford and Lakeland High School, the other main high school within Huron Valley.

For years, the Milford High Vocal Ensemble (later renamed to Center Stage), was an elite high-school show choir directed by James Cutty, who has since retired to Florida. Now the Director of Center Stage is Maryann Lambrecht. The Vocal Ensemble, sung at a variety of national and international venues over the years. There is also an all-women audition-only choir known as the Choraleers. The school annually does three plays.
