History

The current school building, located off Douglas Ave. in the north section of town, was opened in 1962 after moving from the previous home across the street from the Brewton Elementary school located less than a mile south. The school consisted of three wings, a lunch room, a gym, and an office area. The school was expanded to include a fourth wing, dedicated to science classes, in 1994. Recent additions include an auditorium (built in 1998), a field house for the football program (completed in 2001), and a new gym (completed in 2002).

Sports

T.R. Miller High School has had success in several athletic programs, especially since the mid-1980s. The men's basketball team brought home a mythical state championship in 1952, which is to date the only championship the boys basketball program has won. The athletic program most closely identified with the school is the football team. The Tigers currently have six state championships (1969, 1984, 1991, 1994, 2000, and 2002), and have advanced to at least the semi-finals of the playoffs 15 times in the last 22 seasons. Most of the success has been under the helm of hometown boy turned coach, Jamie Riggs. Under Riggs the Tigers have won 4 state titles. The T.R. Miller football team was considered to be "the winningest football team of the 90's" in the State of Alabama. The Tiger track program has won numerous state championships over the last 20 years, including most recently in 2009, 2010, and 2011, and the Lady Tiger basketball team brought home state titles in 1995, 1996, 2002, and 2009. The girl's Cross-Country has had numerous state runner up titles and is hoping for a state championship this year.
