BULLYING PROGRAMBULLY
We hope you all had a great holiday break!
Milton High School takes seriously the personal/social and physical safety of our students. In addition, we strive to create a positive school environment where all students feel included and respected. To address concerns of bullying and peer conflict, the MHS counselors and administration will be hosting a seminar for the 10th grade boys to promote empathy and respect in the building while motivating bystanders to help with prevention and intervention.  Our goal of this presentation is to achieve better peer relations at our school and prevent the development of new bullying problems so our students have a positive place to learn and develop.  
This seminar will be presented on Thursday, January 26th during SOAR.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Classes will meet once a week (select either the ACT or the SAT) beginning during SOAR time, but please note that they will run beyond the end of the school day so students will need a ride home.
