Cabell Midland High School

Cabell Midland High School is located in Ona, West Virginia. Cabell Midland is a four-year high school which serves grades 9 through 12. The school's name is derived from two sources; "Cabell" for the county in which it is located, and "Midland" for the famous Midland Trail which once extended from Norfolk, Virginia to Los Angeles, California.

Overview

The school serves students predominantly from the eastern part of Cabell County from Barboursville Middle School and Milton Middle School. The building was constructed in 1994 through of the consolidation of Barboursville High School and Milton High School. The approximately 286,000-square-foot (26,600 m) building was designed by the Charleston, West Virginia architectural firm of Williamson Shriver Architects. The design received an Honor Award for Architectural Excellence from the West Virginia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA-WV) in 1995. The temporary name of the school during the planning stages was Cabell East High School, but after asking for input and ideas from the public, the official name of Cabell Midland High School was later decided on by the Cabell County Board Of Education. The name of the other public high school in Cabell County, Huntington High School (which combined "Old" Huntington High School and Huntington East High School), went through the same process, originally being called Cabell West High School, then Huntington Summit High School, and finally Huntington High School.
