Earth Day 2015

Earth Day provides a great opportunity to reflect what more you can do to help clean and sustain our natural environment and resources.  If you are feeling that you could do more, start a project!  There are organizations that award young people for creating programs that help protect and make our Earth a cleaner place to live.  For example, every year the EPA sponsors the President's Environmental Youth Award.  The PEYA program honors a wide variety of projects developed by young individuals, school classes, summer camps, public interest groups, and youth organizations to promote environmental awareness.  If you are interested in learning more, visit: http://www2.epa.gov/education/presidents-environmental-youth-award

2015 Scheduling Fair is a Great Success!

The Senior High School hosted our annual Scheduling Fair last night and the turn out was tremendous. Incoming and current students were given the opportunity to speak with teachers and administrators about the courses that will be offered by Millville High School in the upcoming 2015-2016 school year. This is always a wonderful opportunity for each department to showcase their new and existing courses and a great chance for parents and students to gain insightful information from teachers and counselors.
