Milford High School Named Purple Heart School
|
At its September meeting, the Milford Board of Education approved a proclamation recognizing Milford High School as a Purple Heart High School. As a Purple Heart school, Milford honors the service and sacrifice of those soldiers wounded or killed while serving our country.
The effort to designate Milford as a Purple Heart School was led by Milford High School social studies teacher Greg Rose. Mr. Rose has also reached out to the City of Milford to become a Purple Heart City.
“We feel that we have an obligation to the community of Milford and the Milford School District to honor our veterans and their sacrifice,” Mr. Rose said. “Designating Milford High School as a Purple Heart School is just one way that we can do that. This is important to model for our students and to build an expectation for our community.”

Milford History and Drama Students Plan Constitution Day Celebration
Each year, schools nationwide take part in observing the day that our nation’s leaders signed the U.S. Constitution. This year’s Constitution Day observation was held on September 17, and Mrs. Anna O'Neill’s AP U.S. history classes, along with Mrs. Arber's Acting 2 class, planned a full day of activities that brought history to life.
Each year, students from two different schools attend Constitution Day festivities. This year, 150 third graders from Mulberry and Seipelt Elementary Schools were transported to Milford High School. Our high school students created 15 stations and each elementary group was able to visit eight different stations featuring life in the Colonial Days from period games to re-enactments by drama students of famous Founding Fathers and Mothers.
