Milton District High School (MDHS) is a public secondary school located in Milton, Ontario, Canada. MDHS, part of the Halton District School Board, educates just about 1100 students.
The school opened in 1960, before which time, secondary school students in town had attended the Milton High School on Martin Street. When the new high school opened, grade 10 to 12 students were transferred there, and Martin Street School became a high school, serving students in grade 9 only. MDHS remained the only secondary school in Milton until E.C. Drury High School opened in 1980, followed by Bishop P. F. Reding Catholic Secondary School in 1986.

Famous quotes containing the words milton, district, high and/or school:
“She, as a veil down to the slender waist,
Her unadorned golden tresses wore
Dishevelled, but in wanton ringlets waved
As the vine curls her tendrils, which implied
Subjection, but required with gentle sway,
And by her yielded, by him best received,
Yielded with coy submission, modest pride,
And sweet, reluctant, amorous delay.
Nor those mysterious parts were then concealed:
Then was not guilty shame: dishonest Shame
Of Nature’s works, Honour dishonourable.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“To that high Capital, where kingly Death
Keeps his pale court in beauty and decay,
He came.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
