Midland High School (officially Midland Senior High School) is a public high school located in Midland, Texas and is part of Midland Independent School District. The original Midland High School was built in 1926 and was moved twenty-three years later to a new building in 1949 where it currently sits today. In recent years, Midland High School has received major renovations including complete asbestos removal and new science wing.

Midland High School hosts only high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors (10th-12th grades) as Midland Freshman High School serves as a feeder school hosting freshman high school students. Both Midland High School and Midland Freshman High School use the same school mascot, the Midland High Bulldog. However, Midland Freshman High School enacted a mandatory school uniform policy for students while Midland High School has failed to receive support to enact a similar policy.

Since the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year, the school principal of Midland High School has been Ms. Linda Jolly.
