Middleton High School is a public high school in Tampa, Florida named in honor of George S. Middleton, an African American mail carrier, businessman[2] and civic leader who moved to Tampa from South Carolina in the late 19th century. Middleton was established for black students in 1934 during the segregation era. The current facility opened in 2002 on North 22nd Street in East Tampa.
Middleton's mascot is the Tiger. Its rival school in Hillsborough County is Howard W. Blake High School. A historical marker recounts the school's history.[3] It was an all-black school for nearly 40 years and remains predominantly black along with its surrounding neighborhood.
It became a junior high school in 1971. Middleton High School reopened in a new location in 2002 with community support. In 2008, a report recounted the school's struggles to improve academic achievement.[4]
