History

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.
