Midpark High School was a public high school located in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, southwest of Cleveland. It was one of two high schools in the Berea City School District, along with Berea High School. Founded in 1962, it primarily served Middleburg Heights and Brook Park, as well as a portion of Berea. MHS athletic teams were known as the Meteors with school colors of orange and brown and competed in the Southwestern Conference.
At the conclusion of the 2012–13 school year, the school was closed and merged with rival Berea High School to create Berea–Midpark High School, which is located in the building that previously housed Berea High School. Beginning with the 2013–14 school year, the Midpark building became Middleburg Heights Junior High School for the district's 7th–9th grade students.[2][3] In August 2018, the building was renamed Berea–Midpark Middle School for grades five through eight, while ninth graders were moved to Berea–Midpark High School.[4]
