Mid-July Update

Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year

Welcome to the 2023-2024 Milford school year! We cannot wait to have "the Flock" back to MHS. Our High School and Ninth Grade Community Teams are committed to providing EVERY student with a positive, caring, and safe environment that encourages each student to reach their full potential. The next few weeks are full of activity and we look forward to seeing you soon!

As we prepare for the 2023-2024 school year, we ask that you make sure all contact information is up-to-date in Final Forms. This will ensure that you receive communication from school in a timely manner.

More information with dates for back to school events will be coming soon (most likely from Dr. Arnold).

Thank you for entrusting your students to us for their high school experience. We are grateful to be a part of every Eagle's path to success.

Mr. Yeager and the MHS NGC Team

Counseling Notes

What's a School Counselor?

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kaitlyn Richter and I will serve as the NGC school counselor for your student this year. School counselors are licensed educators who improve the success of students through the domains of college/career readiness, academic success, and social/emotional support. It is my goal to support ALL students, and foster an environment that allows them to create a future where they can thrive. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me this year if you have any questions.
