Memorial High School is a comprehensive public high school in Millville in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States, operated as part of the Millville Public Schools. The school was built in 1925 and used as the Millville High School from 1925-1964 until the Millville Senior High School was built. Currently it is being used as a Junior High School to house the ninth grade and half of the tenth grade.

Students from Woodbine attend the district's high schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[2] Maurice River Township students also attend the district's high schools, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Maurice River Township School District.[3] Commercial Township and Lawrence Township also send students to the district's high schools; The four sending districts filed suit in 2009, challenging the way in which the Millville district charges for students from outside the district to attend the school.[4]

As of the 2012-13 school year, the school had an enrollment of 708 students and 56.5 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.53:1. There were 379 students (53.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 63 (8.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

The school is a memorial to those who lost their lives in World War I. Millville High School is the home of the Millville Thunderbolts.

The principal is Stephanie DeRose[5]
