Improvers act through completely unscripted scenes and play fun games with the audience, taking suggestions with which they launch a story. Many modern comedians got their start with similar improv groups. Improv shows are almost always sold out at Milton, as it is a very popular event. No prior experience or preparation is necessary to audition, just come ready to take what you're given and roll with it! Auditions for 1st semester's group are August 15 after school in the Black Box. Hope to see you there!

SCHEDULE CHANGE PROCESSSCHEDCHANGE
We are working diligently to give students the courses they requested this past spring during the registration process. Please review the following so that you and your student are familiar with the schedule change request process.
FIRST WEEKS OF SCHOOL:
We will prioritize students requesting core/academic schedule changes. Additionally, students who meet the following requirements should see their Counselor during the period they have a hole or are misplaced in a core/academic course:
  • If there is a hole in your schedule. This means that you do not have any class assigned to you during the designated period. 
    Ex: No class during 3rd period - see your Counselor during 3rd period.
  • If you are misplaced in a core/academic class. This means that you have already passed this class or you have not met the pre-requisite for this class. 
    Ex: You have Geometry on your schedule, but you passed it in summer school - see your Counselor during the period you have Geometry.
  • If your Counselor was able to fulfill your schedule change request, you will receive a new copy of your new schedule in class. If we cannot accommodate your request, the Schedule Change Request form will be returned to the student with an explanation.
MAKING A REQUEST:
In order to make a schedule change request please complete the Schedule Change Request Form (we are unable to honor requests that are submitted via email or telephone/voicemail). Forms will be available in Counseling Suites 1320 & 1340. Additionally, the form will be posted on the Milton HS Website beginning August 6.

The Schedule Change period will be from August 6-17.
**While we try to accommodate students' requests, please note that all schedule changes are based on class availability.**
