Milton High has some exciting news to share about a new competition and system we are trying at Milton. We are testing a phone App called The Spirit App that is designed to engage students and create greater unity and involvement in the school. The hope is that we can use this App as a communication system for calendars, daily announcements, eagle updates and messaging. This would give our school one location and source for all these needs. This App is also a way to track reward points for things like participation, spirit, character, academic/ arts/ athletic recognition and progress. Our teachers and staff have been looking for a way to positively reinforce behavior and we are hoping this app will eventually allow us to track and award positive character at a high school level. This is going to be a work in progress for the next thirty days as we learn what works and how the app will need to evolve to meet the needs of our teachers and students. The fun part is the game that the students will be playing for this thirty day trial. Students has been place into four houses. These houses have Latin names based on the character traits of the house. They have mascots, colors, crests and senior captains that will provide leadership along with faculty advisers. They have been assigned alphabetically (not by grade) this way future siblings will be in the same house. This will be an exciting new tradition for Milton that will fit with our desire to make a large school feel small and inclusive. There will be challenges and events throughout the next thirty day period so be sure to ask your student for details
