High School Eagle Update

#MilfordMeansAll #EveryKidEveryDay

New Information

Guardians and students time to make sure our grades are checked and double-checked. If you notice an error, let your teacher know. Missing work or not grasping a concept, reach out to your teacher and see if you can meet during a Flex bell to work on missing items or get extra help. Many supports are in place to help you out, but you must also advocate for yourself.

Update from Superintendent John Spieser


Please take a minute to watch this edition of the Milford Schools Super60. All the news you need in about 60 seconds! https://youtu.be/yrPvcoU9kXc


Superintendent Spieser covers:


  • The State of Ohio released School Report Cards last week. Milford Schools received an estimated 4.5 stars. You can read more here: https://bit.ly/21-22MilfordReportCard
  • The Milford Schools board of education approved new Fieldhouse plans which will include upgraded athletic facilities, new restrooms, and three additional gyms. These improvements are necessary as current buildings will need to be demolished to make way for the new Middle School. The improvements will also allow Milford to host large athletic and band competitions, as well as provide much needed space for student athletes to practice and hold games.

If you think your student qualifies for free or reduced lunch, you will need to fill out an application with the school district.
