The Middletown High School "Marching Knights" band has been a growing competitive force ever since director Matthew Shearer took over in 2002. They were the United States Scholastic Band Association Group 2A champions in 2005 with their show "Rhapsody in Blue". In 2005, the band participated in the Gator Bowl music festival where they placed third in the field show contest and parade contest, and junior drum major Kristin Schellinger won the "Best Drum Major" award in the field show contest. The 2006 season with "Las Vegas" was the most record breaking season yet. They scored above 90 for the first time in school history and set record scores for percussion and guard. The Marching Knights have recently gotten 4th out of 12 bands in their travel to James Madison University for the Parade of Champions. They also received the award for best colorguard in their class.

In 2003 MHS implemented the county's first APEX (Advanced Placement Experience) program for a select group of Freshmen. Students in the program commit to taking a minimum of six AP courses in high school, beginning in the sophomore year. Because of the school's emphasis on AP courses the number of students taking AP exams in the past two years has nearly doubled. MHS was also the county's first high school to establish a Freshman Academy to maximize student achievement during the often-difficult transition from Middle to High School. As of the 2006-2007 School Year, The Advisement Programme was terminated for reasons unknown to the general public at MHS.
