About the School
Milford Mill Academy is located on 3800 Washington Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. The school was named after the area, which was called Milford where a local mill was a large part of the economy.[2] In 1992, after several years of modernization, students returned to the school after being housed at a temporary facility. The school then renamed itself Milford Mill Academy, after being named Milford Mill High School for many years. The school borders three other high schools in Baltimore County - Pikesville High School, Woodlawn High School, and Randallstown High School.[3]
The school originally was a junior/senior high school. The area of the county when Milford opened its doors in 1949 was mostly rural. In the early and mid 1950s, the school became overcrowded, forcing the county to build a separate junior high (Sudbrook; grades 7-9)and the renamed high school dropped the "Junior" from its name.
