The History of Milor High School

  • Dr. John H. Milor High School, established in 1980, is located in Rialto, in San Bernardino County.  The District serves students in a 55 square mile area.  Included in the boundaries are the City of Rialto, the western portion of the City of San Bernardino, a small segment of the cities of Colton and Fontana, and some unincorporated county territory.  At the time of the last accreditation, the Rialto Unified School District served a student population of 30,000. Current district enrollment is over 26,000 students housed in 19 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, 3 comprehensive high schools, 1 continuation high school, and 1 alternative high school.

    Milor High School is an accredited continuation high school.  The campus is shared with Zupanic Virtual Academy and the ASPIRES program.   Each program provides a unique independent service for the students of Rialto Unified School District but often share resources to meet the needs of the broader community. Milor High School operates on a traditional school calendar schedule along with the three other comprehensive high schools. Enrollment over the past year has ranged from 200-280 students.  Approximately 800 students will enter and exit over the course of a school year.  Students apply to come to Milor High School from the comprehensive high schools for a variety of reasons. Milor’s main focus is to provide students with opportunities to earn their high school diploma.
