Milford High School (1842 - 1983) was the original public post-elementary school in the Town of Milford Connecticut. Milford High School had always been located adjacent to Town/City Hall near the banks of the Wepawaug River.

In 1874 the city fathers physically connected the school and the town hall buildings to accommodate the growing student population. The combined buildings also housed an elementary school, the town jail, and a large meeting room that was later used as a theater. This "Old Town Hall" was destroyed by fire in 1915. At that time Milford High School took up residence in "The Yellow Building", the Diane Toulsen Building, which had been completed in 1908.

In 1951 the final structure to be known as Milford High School was completed. To meet the needs created by rapid increase in student enrollment due to the post-World War II baby-boom a second high school, Jonathan Law High School, was opened on the west side of Milford in 1962. A third high school, Joseph A. Foran High School, was opened on the east side of Milford in the mid-1970's in anticipation of another increase in student enrollment; but instead student enrollment declined. Milford High School served its student population until 1983 when student enrollment had declined considerably and the school building was converted into municipal offices. It is now known as the Thomas Parsons Government Complex.
