Mills University Studies High School

We are proud of how our students are involved in the community. A few members of the student council and dance team represented our school for the Landmark Community at the East End Parade on Saturday, November 2. The dancers received 2nd place in the parade too! #MillsUniversityStudiesHighSchool #ElevatingExcellence #CommunityMatters

Did you know Mills University Studies High School has a strong internship/work program? Our students are out there interning and working and learning so much! The students pictured here are just a few in our large program. We have Braden Owens at David's Burgers on Warden Road, Devin Barrentine at Cinemark, David Clark at Top Golf, Davionna Tidwell at Sonic on Broadway, and Takora Russell at Main Event. All five of these students work hard and keep up their grades and shine in extracurricular events. We are very proud of this program, all that Mr. McGrew does to facilitate it, and everything that these students are learning and contributing to themselves, their families, and their communities! #ElevatingExcellence #MillsUniversityStudiesHighSchool #HardWorkPaysOff

Wednesday will be club picture day for all students at MUSH. We will call for students when it is time to have the photos made which will be in the gym.

Mills University Studies High School is PROUD to present our first two teachers of the month for the 2024-25 school year. For September, our teacher is Ms. Prewett. Her nominating colleague said, "Mrs. Prewett has worked diligently to orchestrate clubs here at Mills. She consistently communicates expectations with staff, creates sign-up forms for students, and spends hours sorting through the data to ensure all students have a place to go (whether it is study hall or an actual club) on club days. This is a large feat for one person and over 500 students. However, Mrs. Prewett does it to ensure a smooth system is in place and to avoid or minimize chaos in our operation on club days. Furthermore, as things change, Mrs. Prewett has to use her planning time to ensure that needs are met and students are placed appropriately for clubs." For October, our teacher is Mr. Thompson. One of his colleagues stated that, "Mr. Thompson works hard to help all students learn and grow. He teaches in a way that connects to real-life problems, like saving the environment. This helps us become smart and caring people in the world." We are so thankful for these teachers making the impact that they do! Congratulations to the first two recipients of this award this year! #ElevatingExcellence #MillsUniversityStudiesHighSchool #TeacherOfTheMonth

Happy Halloween from the students and staff of Mills University Studies High School! We may have older students, but we still love to dress up and have fun. Today was a good day to show off creativity and artistry. Now . . . time to trick or treat!

At our campus, we wear our AVID shirts on Wednesday! AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, includes learning goals that are centered around student agency, rigorous academic preparedness, opportunity knowledge, and fostering a learning environment that emphasizes collaboration, inquiry, organization, writing, and reading. We are preparing our students for enrollment, employment, enlistment, or entrepreneurship!

Ms. Prewitt's AP Psychology class made models of the eyeball today tying in the curriculum with Halloween! They may seem creepy, but the cornea, pupil, iris, lens, retina, sclera, and optic nerve are all important parts of the eyeball and can play a part in color blindness, optical illusions, and more!

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃 If your family celebrates, share what your student will dress up as this year! #pcssdproud #serveall
