MILTON MSA WINS MIST!
Every year, the Milton Muslim Student Association (MSA) partakes in the Muslim Inter-Scholastic Tournament (MIST), which is a fun combination of competitions and workshops designed to bring high school students together from around the national, all while building leadership, creativity, and communication skills. MIST consists of annual Regional Tournaments that take place in major cities across the country. Currently, MIST features over 35 different competitions. 
 
This year was particularly special for the MSA, because apart from individual members on our team winning awards, our team won as a whole! Milton High School received the award for Best Overall Team during the 2017 MIST competition. The majority of Milton High School competitors also advanced to nationals, which will be held in Detroit this summer. The MSA is extremely grateful for this title, and to Milton High School for supporting all of our endeavors!
