Medway was built in 1949. Its original name was East Middlesex High School, but it was known locally as the Arva School. The name was changed to Medway to reflect the Medway Creek which winds through the area.
Medway was part of the Middlesex County Board of Education. Today it is part of the Thames Valley District School Board, which is Ontario's third largest board.
The Medway Choir won the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation choral competition for the best youth choir in Canada in 1980.
In 1996, Ken Fleet conducted London Pro Musica, the Medway Senior Concert Choir, and the Medway Girls Choir in recording seventy-two songs for Nancy Telfer’s Choral Audio Library. The five CDs have been played on national radio in Italy, Israel, Australia, and Argentina and used extensively at major national and international music conferences.
In the 2009–2010 school year, Medway High School's chess team became the first to win all five local tournaments held in Thames Valley District School Board. In the nearly 20-year history of these tournaments, this feat has never before been accomplished. The same chess team was the first to win every game played (20-0-0) in a single tournament.[citation needed]
