[6] Milford Schools’ origins began in log houses and other single room buildings.

[7][8] The location in the city housed all grades and was a state-of-the-art building when completed before World War I.

The Milford Board declared its independence in 1917 when it passed a resolution that relieved the school of higher supervision.

[7] At a time when most schools were strictly segregated throughout the country, Milford was open to all area Ohioans, including Jessie Clark, regardless of ancestry in 1917.

In 1923, Milford High School started a newspaper called the Hi-Letter, and the name changed to The Reflector in 1933 and has stayed all of these years.

Milford looked to neighboring school systems to find additional classroom space.

The growth and transformation of the schools continued for the next twenty years under the direction of Boyd E. Smith, who served as Superintendent from 1965 to 1985.
