- NEWS FROM MHS -
8th to 9th Grade Step-Up Night is Tuesday!
Millis High School would like to welcome the parents of the rising 9th-grade students to join Principal Mark Awdycki, the School Counseling Department, teachers, and current MHS students, as they give a brief overview of the differences between Middle School and High School in Millis on Wednesday, April 4th. Before the presentation, students and parents are welcome to attend the high school club showcase in the cafeteria from 6-6:30pm, where they can learn about the various clubs available at the high school. Following the showcase, the presentation will begin promptly at 6:30pm, where the principal and counselors will be explaining the course selection process, schedule, activities, clubs, credit requirements and supports available in the high school.
We look forward to seeing everyone on April 4th, and to welcoming the Class of 2027 as they begin the process of transitioning to life as a Millis High School student!
Students of the Month Announced
Grade 9 Nominees: Ash Trusevitch and Kevin McGuire
Winner: Ash Trusevitch: "Ash brings energy and a willingness to participate in class discussions each day. She puts a lot of care and time into her assignments, and inevitably produces great work. In addition, she is very insightful. She is kind, polite and respectful. Her presence and work ethic are appreciated."
Grade 10 Nominees: Daniel Sparks and Mauricio Olivares
Winner: Daniel Sparks: "Daniel is a hard worker. Both in class and out, whenever I see him, he is buckled down and getting things done. He flies under the radar but can be counted on to step up in class."
Grade 11 Nominees: Rayssa Oliveira and Hailey Bassett
Winner: Hailey Basset: "Hailey works hard every day. When her peers turn to her for help she is always willing to stop what she is doing and answer their questions. She has continued this all through basketball season. Her work ethic in the classroom has never wavered even with the stress and excitement of the playoffs."
Grade 12 Nominees: Cynthia Arguijo and Abena Ashiagbor
Winner: Cynthia Arguijo: "Cynthia is pleasure to be around both in class and out. She works very hard to maintain a balance in her life so as not to disappoint herself or others yet she is a constant presence in both the classroom and extracurriculars. Not only is she working on her own mural for the school but she found time over break to help paint sets for another student's play. Cynthia is not afraid to try new things, while still building her skills in what she is already a force in. Additionally, Cynthia worked to ensure that the senior arts banners came to fruition this year."
Academic WorldQuest
Last weekend, Millis sent their first team to the Academic WorldQuest competition. Here is a write up from the World Affairs Council of America. “Academic WorldQuest is the World Affairs Councils of America's flagship youth education program and is a fun, fast-paced team competition for high school students that tests their knowledge of current international politics, geography, global economics, history, and world cultures. This year's state-wide Academic WorldQuest competition took place in-person at Bunker Hill Community College on Saturday, March 25th.”
Four MHS Global Scholar students practiced for weeks with their mentor, Sara Ames, on categories including but not limited to: Securing the Future of the World’s Wildlife, The Arctic Council: Frozen Cooperation, Economic Sanctions- a Double-Edged Sword, and The Future of Supply Chains. These students included Wilson Copice, Ben McCarthy, Rayssa Oliveira and Sophia Rubalcaba. They may not have taken home the title, but they represented Millis High incredibly well, and built the foundation of a competition team for years to come!
SAMARITANS PRESENTATIONS BEGIN THIS WEEK
The teen years are marked by a roller coaster of emotions-difficult for teens, their parents and educators. It is easy to misread depression as normal adolescent turmoil; however, depression (among the most common forms of mental illnesses) appears to be occurring at a much earlier age, and the past decade has seen teen suicide rates double. The pandemic over the last few years has complicated it even more. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people, ages 10-24. Youth can feel immense pressure from harassment on social media, difficult coursework, unhealthy friendships and relationships, bullying, and many other stressors. Unfortunately, many young people struggle to reach out for help, in part because of the stigma associated with suicide and mental illness.
To proactively address this issue, Millis High School is offering a youth workshop during the school day delivered by the Samaritans on April 4 (for sophomores) and April 11 (for juniors). Samaritans has provided lifesaving suicide prevention services in Massachusetts for 48 years. Their vision is to have a world without suicide. The core values of the Samaritans in which they base their programming are courage, hope, integrity, belonging, befriending, equity, and inclusion. Their youth workshops aim to help students understand their emotions and feel less alone. Students discuss suicide myths, prevention strategies, self-care and coping, identifying trusted adults, and what to do when they or a friend needs help.
Our goals in participating in this program are straightforward:
To help our students understand that depression is a treatable illness, and help them assess whether or not they may have symptoms consistent with depression
To explain that suicide is a preventable tragedy that often occurs as a result of untreated depression
To provide students training in how to identify serious depression and potential suicidality in a friend
To impress upon teens that they can help themselves or a friend by taking the simple step of talking to a responsible adult about their concerns
At the end of the workshop, all students will be asked by Millis High School counseling staff to complete a brief screener where they indicate whether or not they are currently struggling with depressed feelings and if they would like to talk with a counselor about a concern they have for either themselves or a friend.
If you DO NOT wish to have your child participate in either the presentation, the screener, or both, please email either Erin Sullivan, esullivan@millisschools.org, Riley Dunn rdunn@millisschools.org, or Nicole Moore nmoore@millisschools.org. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that your child has your permission to participate.

Program of Studies 2023-24 Released
Earlier this week, Millis High School Counselors, Riley Dunn and Nicole Moore, met with students in grades 9-11 to explain the process of course selection for the 2023-24 school year and emailed the MHS Program of Studies 2023-2024 to every student. Students will be choosing their classes through the course registration area in PowerSchool. Teacher recommendations have been made and are posted in the course registration area of each individual student's PowerSchool account. The system is now open for students to enter their course selections.
The school counselors will be meeting with students individually during their English classes to ensure they are taking appropriate schedules and meeting graduation requirements. These meetings will occur with freshmen starting on April 3rd, sophomores starting on April 4th and with juniors starting on April 5th. The English teachers will be informing the students when their day for course selection meetings falls. Courses need to be selected in the PowerSchool system prior to that meeting. It is critical that you review your student's course selections with him/her and that they are completed on time for the meeting with the school counselor. The course selection system will be shut down for outside access when the scheduling period is over for each class.
You may also want to check out these videos about each elective, put together by MHS graduate Andrew Hatch as a senior project last year.
If you have questions about the courses your son/daughter was recommended for, please have your son/daughter speak to their individual teacher or feel free to contact the teacher yourself. Each teacher makes course recommendations after a great deal of time and consideration with the best interests of the students at heart. If you have any further questions about the scheduling process, please do not hesitate to contact the School Counseling office at 508-376-7010. We look forward to working with you through the course selection process.

MCAS ELA Testing This Tuesday and Wednesday
This year, Students in the Class of 2025 (sophomores) will be taking MCAS exams in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, while students in the Class of 2026 (freshmen) will be taking the MCAS Biology Exam. These exams, sponsored by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), are part of the competency determination required for students to graduate from Millis High School. All exams will be computer-based this year.
Sophomores will be taking the MCAS ELA exam next week on March 28 and 29. The tests will begin promptly at 8am each day, and student classroom assignments will be posted throughout the building (they will also been emailed to the students). Students should come in with their ChromeBooks fully charged each day. Though students have the entire school day to complete testing, each day of testing typically takes 2-3 hours.
Parents/Guardians are asked to make sure their students get a good night's sleep before each exam day, have a good breakfast each exam day, and get to school on time each day. We are confident that our students are well-prepared to be successful on these important exams. Thanks to parents/guardians for their support in helping students clear this graduation hurdle. Good luck to our 10th grade students as they take their MCAS ELA Exam next week!
The schedule for MCAS Exams at MHS this year is as follows:
English Language Arts (Grade 10) - March 28 & 29
Math (Grade 10) - May 16 & 17
Biology (Grade 9) - June 6 & 7

Attention Seniors: Seal of Biliteracy Opportunity Deadline March 20
Millis Public Schools is pleased to announce that we are again partnering with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to offer the State Seal of Biliteracy. The State Seal of Biliteracy was adopted by Massachusetts to “recognize high school graduates who attain high functional and academic levels of proficiency in English and a world language, meaning that those students can function in those languages in authentic, real-life situations.”
The purposes of the State Seal of Biliteracy are to:
Encourage students to study and master languages;
Certify attainment of biliteracy skills;
Recognize the value of language diversity;
Provide employers with a method of identifying people with language and biliteracy skills;
Provide universities with a method to recognize and give credit to applicants for the attainment of high-level skills in languages;
Prepare students with skills that will benefit them in the labor market and the global society; and
Strengthen intergroup communication and honor the multiple cultures and languages in a community. (603 CMR 31.02(3))
The Seal of Biliteracy is available to graduating seniors who have met approved standards in both English and not less than one world language. These may be students who have been successful in acquiring second language proficiency or those who live in a home where English is not the primary language and they have attained oral and written proficiency in that language. The criteria for receiving the Seal of Biliteracy are as follows:
Earn a score of 472 or higher on the Grade 10 ELA MCAS test or retest
A score of I-5 (Intermediate-High) or higher on the Assessment of Performance Toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) test
Satisfy all other graduation requirements
For ELL students: ACCESS for ELLs is administered to English learners each year and may be used to satisfy the English language criteria for the State Seal of Biliteracy. Students must demonstrate English proficiency on ACCESS for ELLs with an overall score of at least level 4.2 and a composite literacy score of at least level 3.9.
Millis High School will be offering a no-cost administration of the AAPPL test in April (students who sign up for the AAPPL but do not take or complete the exam, will be charged). The AAPPL is an online exam that measures a student’s proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a world language. Please note that the Seal of Biliteracy score of I-5 is a fairly high standard and only students with extensive study or experience with the language should access the testing opportunity.
Students interested in pursuing a State Seal of Biliteracy should
fill out this form by March 20, 2023:

Mirola Arian Named NHS Scholarship Semifinalist
The National Honor Society (NHS) announced that Mirola Arian, a high school senior at Millis High School and member of NHS, has been selected as an NHS Scholarship semifinalist.
Since 1946, more than $21 million in scholarships have been awarded to outstanding NHS senior members to support college access and student success. The scholarship program is supported by the parent organization of NHS, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
In the 100+ years since NHS was founded in 1921, members have been making a difference in their schools and communities, and the NHS Scholarship is NASSP’s way of recognizing the most exceptional of these student leaders. Recipients are chosen based on their demonstrated work to support the four pillars of NHS: scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
“There is no question that Mirola embodies the four pillars of the National Honor Society in the work she does each and every day both at Millis High School and in the community,” said Millis High School Principal, Mark Awdycki. “She is a leader in every sense of the word, a role model for her peers, and incredibly deserving of this NHS scholarship.”
At Millis High School, Arian has earned several honors including the University of Vermont Citizen Scholar Award and the Piaget Award for Excellence in AP Psychology. She is a candidate for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, as one of a small number of students chosen to move forward in the competition from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Arian is STEAM Scholar and the Social Media Director for the Chemistry Club. She is also the president of the Peer Leader’s club, a member of the Millis High School chapter of the National Honor Society, a member of the School Council, and a part of the JED High School team at MHS. This past summer, she worked as director for the Coptic Summer BLAST program. She is currently weighing her options for college this fall, with a plan to study either health science or neuroscience at her chosen institution.

ChemClub has been busy the last two weeks. They hosted Ms. Tashian’s 3rd grade class last Friday and today they hosted Mr. Collazo’s 3rd grade class. The group has been doing flame tests and calorimetry with their third grade friends, as well as taking the opportunity to educate on safe fire practice. (pictures to come)
Additionally, members of the club participated in a soft cheese making session. They prepared fresh ricotta as well as paneer cheese. The students did this by applying the basic chemistry concept of protein denaturation by heating and acidifying milk and then applying pressure using cheese presses to squeeze the whey out of the curds. Thank you to the Millis Cultural Council for a 2021 grant award that allowed the club to purchase the cheese making equipment.
In Ms. Copice's Chemistry I class, students have built model chest cavities so as to gain an understanding of the interplay of Boyle’s Law and Charle’s Law in the process of respiration. They then created flow charts to demonstrate the relationships between pressure and volume in the open and closed systems of the human body that allow for inhalation and exhalation.
