History edit
Midview High School was originally built in 1956 as a Junior High School, until the needs of the district demanded more room for students in grades 9-12. The building was then designated as the High School in 1956, and has remained so ever since.
Midview High School's current core curriculum includes classes in Language Arts, International Studies (French and Spanish), Math, Science, Business, Social Sciences, Health & Physical Education, Art, Music (Instrumental and Vocal), and Vocational & Occupational Studies (Industrial, Technology, and Home Economics). The high school is also certified in L.D. and D.D. programs.
Athletics edit
The school colors are blue and silver. The athletic teams are known as the Middies. Midview is currently a member of the Southwestern Conference, which the school moved to in 2015.[3] Midview was a previous member of the now defunct West Shore Conference
