Millen High School is a high school in Millen, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The listing included two contributing buildings and one non-contributing building.[1]

The present high school serving the area is the Jenkins County High School, in Millen.

The main building was built in 1922, and was designed by Augusta architects Scroggs & Ewing. It is a two-story T-shaped wood frame building with a brick veneer. It has Classical Revival elements.[2]

A second, one-story L-shaped building was built during 1941-1943. It was started as a Works Progress Administration-funded project, and it served as an elementary school.[2]

A lunchroom building was built in 1962 in between the other two buildings, and linked by covered walkways.[2]

All three buildings in the historic school building complex have been demolished.[3]

Debris from the demolition of the Old Primary School was burned in April 2011.[4]
