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 the 2018–19 school year, the school's enrollment was reported as 1,186.
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.Mifflin County School District Administration, Mifflin County Schools Program of Studies 2014-2015, 2014
