## History

Howard D. McMillan Middle School was founded by a person with the same name (Howard D. McMillan). He was born in 1919 in the U.S.A. From the 1920s to the 1960s, he was an educator and he studied lots of subjects such as Math, Language Arts, Science, P.E., History, etc. and became a memorable and educated person in history. In 1970, Howard was thinking about building a middle school that would be named after him. In 1973, construction of the middle school began. In 1974, while the main entrance of the school was built, Howard was married to his wife Diana. In 1975, Howard sadly died and people honored him for good education and teaching. In 1976, after construction ended in the summer, Howard D. McMillan Middle School opened its doors and welcomed teenagers who first attended. In the 1980s, it became the great middle school and a popular attending school for people who visited it. In the 1990s, Howard D. McMillan Middle School became an overcrowding school and was starting to grow minorly before the new millennium would come (mostly more classrooms). In 1994, the park was named after his last name, resulting it to be named "McMillan Park". In the early 2000s, the school built a new two floor hallway of classrooms with two floors to make more room for new teenagers to go along with an outside basketball court (construction began in 2002 and ended in 2005). However, from 1993 to 2006, the portables of the school were starting to be abandoned due to most teenagers not visiting or owning them, thus making the portables disappear leaving two left in 2007 (this is due to the two floor hallway of classrooms being advanced and active, though the last two portable buildings were removed in 2020). In the 2010s, the school's roof was repainted to have a more brighter white prior to the 1990s. In 2019, the school's main sign was renewed to have more darker letters and a more brighter white background, along with brighter neon lights on the letters and the sign itself. In 2020, the school was repainted from the original turquoise to red. In the same year, the two portable buildings were removed from the school, resulting it to have no more portables due to the hallway of classrooms being more advanced (though in *Krazy Kids*, they all remain).
