Millersburg is within the English Valleys Community School District.[8]
The community was previously within the Deep River–Millersburg Community School District, which was established in 1958 as a consolidation of the Millersburg and Deep River school districts. In 1992, the district closed its secondary school and began a joint whole grade-sharing program with the English Valleys district and the Montezuma Community School District, in which it sent its junior and senior high school students to both districts; each student chose which secondary school he/she wished to attend.[9] On July 1, 2009, the DR-M district was consolidated into the English Valleys district, although a portion of it was given to the Montezuma district.[10]
English Valleys took possession of the remaining school building in Millersburg and did not immediately decide as to its disposition.[11] As of December 2009 it remained empty, and there were potential plans to convert the building into transitional housing for poor families or those affected by domestic violence.[12]
