Mifflin County High School, is a mid sized, rural public high school. It is the sole high school operated by the Mifflin County School District. The school was established in 2011 by the merging of the district's two former high schools (Indian Valley High School and Lewistown Area). This move was due to budget cuts and aging facilities in the other schools. Construction of Mifflin County High School cost $64 million in 2011. Local public debt was used to finance the building. The 251,088 square foot building was built by Hayes Large Architects, LLP.
In 2014, Mifflin County High School's enrollment was reported as 1,226 pupils in 10th through 12th grades, with 38.9% of pupils eligible for a free lunch due to family poverty. Additionally, 11.9% of pupils received special education services, while 1.2% of pupils were identified as gifted. The school employed 76 teachers. Per the Pennsylvania Department of Education, 100% of the teachers were rated "Highly Qualified" under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Students may choose to attend Mifflin-Juniata Career and Technology Center for training in the building trades, allied health services and culinary arts. Students may also choose a full or partial online study program called the ALPHA Program. Pupils in ALPHA use Blended learning to earn 21.5 credits to graduate. Students are not permitted to use the program to graduate early or earn credits ahead.
The Tuscarora Intermediate Unit IU11 provides the school with a wide variety of services like specialized education for disabled students and hearing, speech and visual disability services and professional development for staff and faculty
