MCHS, a one-framed building on this same location, has changed greatly since 1907. Its appearance has changed, but the feelings and ties bind us all to this school that was once surrounded by woods and wildlife. The students sat on long benches with one long desk that served for everyone. Heat was furnished for the early Trojans by a woodburning stove for which the students carried the wood. The central building was completed in 1917; prior to completion, classes were held in the community churches and houses. The first senior graduation from Millington Central High School was in 1911. The ceremonies weren't very long compared to today's; there were only two members of the Class of ’ll. An interest that has unified our town for many years is athletics. Many of the teachers at MCHS and many of our parents can remember the joys of our football victory over Whitehaven and the Civitan Bowl Championship in 1980. Before the high school had a football team, basketball was the big sport. Millington had many championship boys' and girls' teams, including a boys' team that won the state competition. Throughout all of the changes over the past 79 years, MCHS has always had a family togetherness atmosphere. People may have come and gone because of the Naval Air Station or left for college after graduation, but each person has left a part of himself behind. Many have even come back to teach where they were taught and to love what loved them. Millington has become a place made up of different people from different places and times, tied together in a hometown kind of spirit.
