92 percent of Milton students are white, four percent Hispanic, two percent Asian and one percent black, while one percent of students identify as two or more races.[5]

Activities

MHS has three show choirs: the mixed-gender Choralation, the freshman Revolution, and the single-gender Octave Above.[6] Choralation and Octave Above have found success in their respective divisions, with Choralation winning a competition at Monona Grove High School in 2018.[7] The show choirs also host their own competition, Milton Rock the Rock (formerly known as the Choralation Invitational), which takes place the third weekend of January.[8]

Athletics

Milton is in the Badger Conference.[9] Previously they were in the Southern Lakes Conference, but in 2010 moved to the Badger Conference because of a regional realignment of schools to better represent student enrollment.

Milton has enjoyed success in several sports. Its wrestling program has qualified for the state team championships nine times, most recently in 2010. The team won the tournament in 2002, defeating reigning champion Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln 25-21. The team also won 22 consecutive conference championships from 1994-2015.[10] Its football program has also realized some success, winning Division 3 titles in 1986 and 1989.[11]

The school mascot is the Red Hawk.[12]
