Miamisburg High School

Miamisburg High School is a public high school located in Miamisburg, Ohio, United States, serving grades 9-12. The current principal is Craig Morris. It is part of the Miamisburg City School District and is the only high school in Miamisburg. The school athletic teams are known as the Vikings and the school colors are royal blue and white.HistoryThe current Miamisburg High School was built in 1972 at approximately 100,000 sq ft and originally featured the controversial but then-popular open plan concept of "classrooms without walls." The building layout featured three classroom pods (later to be called the 100s, 300s and 500s wings) forming a triangle around a center core. The central pod included the main entrance, administrative space, the school library, a 200-seat lecture hall, and a 16000sqft commons area, the largest "room" in the Miamisburg School District. From its opening in 1972 until the completion of a new classroom wing in 1993, this building housed grades 10, 11, and 12. Ninth grade students occupied the former high school on Sixth Street which subsequently became the 6th grade Neff Elementary School until construction of the new Miamisburg Middle School in 2011. The original 1972 structure was designed by architect Marlin Heist who also designed LaVeta Bauer Elementary School on Springboro Pike in 1967.The academic pods were completely reprogrammed to follow a more traditional layout within just a few years and MHS received its first addition in 1980. This involved construction of a 32000sqft two-story gymnasium complex complete with a running track and gymnastics area, locker rooms, and fine arts classrooms (known as the 600's wing). In 1982, a 16000sqft classroom wing was added which gave the school 16 more classrooms (the 400's wing). These expansions were designed by Van Buren & Firestone Architects and were constructed at the rear corners of the facility.
