History

Milton High School opened in 1921 in Alpharetta, Georgia, providing grades one to eleven for all of Milton County. In the 1950s, an elementary school was built, with Milton High School then providing only grades eight through twelve. In the 1980s, the school became Fulton County's first comprehensive high school. The school was named a School of Excellence in the 1997–98 school year by the Georgia Department of Education, and an outstanding high school the following year by the U.S. News & World Report. A new campus, using the academy model, was opened in Milton in 2005, starting with freshmen only the first year. Milton High School no longer offers grade eight.[4]
