## History

The Milton-Union Exempted Village School District was formed in 1936 when the Milton Village District and Union Township District merged. The former building was erected in 1938 and has been renovated and added to many times during its existence.

In 2008, voters approved a measure to build a new K-12 building. The old high school, elementary and junior high were demolished in 2013. The new building has been built and is currently in use.

The district is one of the few in the Dayton area to be served by only one each of elementary, junior high, and high school.

## Athletics

Milton-Union competes in the newly formed (as of 2021) Three Rivers Conference (TRC). Previously the Bulldogs were a member of the SWBL and SRC leagues. Milton-Union has been a member of three leagues in its history: the Southwestern Buckeye League (originally named the Little Western Buckeye League) from 1940 to 1981, and the Southwestern Rivers Conference from 1982 to 2000. Milton-Union rejoined the Southwestern Buckeye League in 2001 until 2021 and then the newly formed Three Rivers Conference in 2021. West Milton High School (the predecessor of Milton-Union) never competed in a league. Milton-Union schools spent 61-years in the Southwestern Buckeye League, 20-years in the Southwestern Rivers Conference.
