Figuring This Out All Together

Events unfolding in the Middle East are concerning for our students, especially our Palestinian and Jewish students. Mills High School is working closely with students and teachers to address their concerns as best as possible and to keep the lines of communication open and fluid.

We wanted to share some student work and activities featured in the latest addition of the Thunderbolt:
