Milford High School, which also brings in students from nearby communities of Stockland, Wellington and Sheldon, fields varsity level teams in; golf, baseball, softball, football, volleyball, cheer leading, and basketball.

Gymnasium: The school was also one of few nationally to feature a carpeted gym floor used for varsity level basketball and volleyball.
