FREE Community College Courses
Did you know that high schoolers can take community college courses for free? It's called Concurrent Enrollment, and it's a great way for students to save money by getting a head start on college credits! For college admissions, students' grades are also weighted the same as AP courses. Spring class schedules are available online at webschedule.smccd.edu. For information on how to register, please refer to our Concurrent Enrollment website.

Financial Aid Application Workshop
Don't miss out on free money for college! This year, all seniors must complete the FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application as a graduation requirement. Need help? Come to our FAFSA/CADAA workshop on Saturday, December 3 between 10 am - 2 pm at Capuchino High School's Career Center. Learn more and sign up. RSVP here:  https://forms.gle/7BnkjnnPGLS2kiw7A

Mills High School Annual Fund Drive
Our Community is always stronger together. 

The Mills PTO is excited to launch this school year's Annual Fund Drive! We encourage every financially-able family to contribute to the Annual Fund this year. 
Here are some ways EVERYONE can help:

  • DONATE.  We really need donations. Spread the word. Submit a corporate match!
  • Have your student set up a student donation page. This allows your family to share the Annual Fund Drive with everyone you know. Every page registration and every donation gives your student (and YOU) to win some cool prizes. We will announce prize winners during our Mills Got Talent Mania Celebration on Friday, March 24, 2023. 
  • Save the date for Mills Got Talent Mania Celebration! Come join us for a fun-filled afternoon in Center Court where we'll have carnival games, food, drinks, and entertainment from our very own students on Friday, March 24, 2023.
  • In-kind donations.  Although we will have some cool prizes and donation-level awards from Mills, we also want to encourage families to donate in-kind items (food gift baskets, dinner vouchers, hotel stays, etc.) 
If you want to learn more about the Annual Fund, here are some important links and graphics below. We are so grateful for your participation in advance!
