Millersburg School System
Millersburg Elementary School History
Millersburg Elementary School used to be a school for all grades, from kindergarten through 12th grade. This changed in 1968 when Fairfield Junior-Senior High School opened. After that, Millersburg became an elementary school.
Many students at Millersburg Elementary are from the Amish community. In 1999, a new school called Benton Elementary School was built. It was meant to serve students in the rural areas around New Paris and Millersburg.
In 2008, the Fairfield Community Schools board discussed the number of students. Millersburg Elementary had fewer students, while Benton Elementary was growing fast. The school board decided to expand the area Millersburg Elementary served. This was to help increase its student numbers and prevent Benton from becoming too crowded. However, this plan did not bring new students to Millersburg.
