Mililken Mills High School is a public high school in the town of Markham, Ontario, Canada. It is one of 29 high schools in the York Region District School Board. In 1993 it was the first high school in Canada to register their own domain name. As well, it has high academic and athletic standards, continuously graduating students with scholarships in academia and sport.
Markham's early years (1794-1830) were characterized by the rigors of homesteading and the development of agricultural industries. The township's many rivers and streams soon supported water-powered saw, grist and woollen mills. Small hamlets such as German Mills, Almira, Buttonville, Cedar Grove and Unionville began to spring up at the mill sites. The community of Milliken Corners was one such hamlet, named after three early pioneers John, James and Norman Milliken. Milliken Mills High School was named to recognize the history of our local community.
Milliken Mills High School opened its doors for the first time in the Spring of 1989.
Staff and students enjoy a beautiful facility that is treated with respect by members of the community and is well-maintained by the custodial staff. Since its beginning in 1988, the enrollment has remained around 1,600 students. Its attendance area stretches north from Steeles Avenue, west to Warden Avenue, south from the 14th Avenue, and east to McCowan Road.
