Board of Education Meeting - August 21
At Milford Middle School, getting caught in the WEB is still a good thing — and this year, there’s even more to catch!

You may have spotted these student leaders at the school’s official ribbon cutting on Friday, August 8, guiding community members through the brand-new building. Or maybe you saw them this morning, greeting incoming 6th and 7th graders at the doors and helping them find classrooms on their very first day.

With the school now serving grades 6–8 under one roof, the Where Everybody Belongs (WEB) program has expanded in a big way — attracting more than 120 applications from students eager to lead. These 8th-grade WEB Leaders are making sure every new student feels welcome, connected, and ready to soar.

It’s not a first day without a few hugs, happy tears, and those “have a great day!” smiles. We were thrilled to launch our brand new Milford Middle School today, and it’s been amazing to see so many students and staff fall in love with the new space.

And the best part? We get to do it all again tomorrow for ROUND TWO of first-day magic!

Our incredible staff is ready to soar into the 2025–26 school year. They brought an incredible wave of energy yesterday, carrying it into their classrooms as they prepare for a strong start and get ready to welcome our students.

Milford staff fueled up with a wonderful breakfast, provided by the Milford Schools Foundation and our Nutrition Services team, followed by an inspiring message on appreciation from The Impact Group’s Tom Speaks. It was a great way to set the tone for another outstanding year in Milford. We are energized and ready for school on August 13!

Students may be off campus for the summer, but the butterflies and bees are still hard at work! Thanks to the care of our students during the school year, the pollinator garden behind Milford High School is now in full bloom. This beautiful space was relocated and maintained by students and is buzzing with life.

Looking ahead, Milford staff and community partners from Love Our Land are planning guest lessons and hands-on learning opportunities for students this fall. Stop by to take in the sights, smells, and pollinators in action!

Congrats Dan!
Heads up, Milford!

For the next 1 to 2 weeks, access to Milford High School from State Route 131, including the roundabout just past the soccer fields, will be closed due to construction.

The high school can still be accessed from Wolfpen Pleasant Hill Road. Parking at the soccer fields remains open and accessible at this time.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this temporary closure.
