Milton School started life on the 25th of July 1910. It was named after Sir William Milton (the administrator of the BSAC) and initially located on Borrow Street, Bulawayo (now Parirenyatwa Street). Milton High School and Eveline High School were the first state maintained high schools in the then Rhodesia. Again, it was the first government all boys’ school ever established in Bulawayo. In September 1927, 300 boys and members of staff moved to Milton’s present home, which is situated between Suburbs and the race course. However, it was not until the 1st of June 1928 that the school was officially opened by Sir John Chancellor as “Milton School”. The school colours are plumbago (dark grey) and oxford blue with the school crest based on an early version of the city of Bulawayo’s crest. The motto is Greek and translates as “Quit ye like men”
