Memorial High School was a comprehensive public high school in Millville in Cumberland County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, that 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. The school had been used as a Junior High School to house the ninth grade and half of the tenth grade until the new Millville High School was completed.

Maurice River Township students 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;[4] students from Woodbine previously attended the district's high schools as part of a sending/receiving relationship.[5] 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]
