History
Plans for a second high school to relieve crowding in the Sackville area led to the creation of Millwood High School in 1986, initially operating on split shifts at nearby Sackville High while Millwood's facility was constructed. The school moved into its own building in 1989. By 2025, HRCE's Long-Range Outlook and SchoolsPlus documentation continued to reference the “Millwood Family of Schools,” reflecting ongoing community planning around enrollment and programming. ==Campus==
