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).

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. The Tiger track program has won numerous state championships over the last 20 years, and the Lady Tiger basketball team brought home state titles in 1995, 1996, and 2002.
