New MHS Website - A Collaborative Effort
|
Check Out the New Mills High School Website!
Everyone has received word that the Mills High School and the District have launched new websites. What you may not know is that this undertaking took a great deal of thought, effort, and collaboration. Surveys were sent out last year and high school student interns were brought in to help revamp the sites; this was definitely a labor of love.
Assistant Principal Jose Gomez led the charge working on our site, with the help of Administrative Staff Maurine Seto. Sophomore Jack Peng, pictured below on the lower right hand corner, spent his summer at the District Office working on this (when his classmates were on vacation!). At the District level, Sheri Costa, Manager of PR, Communications, Publications, oversaw the entire project ~ definitely no small feat.
We hope you can appreciate the new features and look ~ please don't hesitate to let our webmaster Barry Pon know if you have any questions and he can pass it along to the administration or see if he can assist in anyway: Barry Pon,

Mills PTO Freshmen Parent Mixer
|
Thank You - Fun Time Had by All!
Thanks to the generosity of Freshmen Parent Claudia Choy and her husband Erik Floyd, who donated this event to the PTO, we had a FUN night at the Bacchus Wine Shop last Thursday, November 27. Freshmen parents mingled with seasoned Mills Parents and Board members, who shared fine wine and cheeses, while swapping sage parenting advice. It was definitely a much needed week night break; we hope to do this again in the near future.
A huge thank you to Quinton Jay, owner of the Bacchus Wine Shop, for putting the event together and adding his touch of class!

Laptop Rental Program
|
Hello Mills Parents and Students,
The Mills High School Library would like to announce that it has 30 HP ProBook Laptops at the Mills High School Library ready for check-out to students in need of a laptop. If a student would like to apply for one, please read and complete the application. Return the completed application to the library, by either dropping it in the Library Mailbox or handing it to me in the library.
The school will process all student applications and let the student know if there is a laptop available for the student to use. If there is one available, the student will be contacted and asked to return to the library to check-out the laptop where a brief training on how to use the laptop will be given. Students are always welcome to ask for additional help using their laptops at the library.
