The Student Showcase

The Board of Education Student Showcase recognizes students with outstanding achievement in school-sponsored academics, athletics, and activities.

Election to be held for Bond to Address Safety and Maintenance

At last night’s Board meeting, the Board of Education voted unanimously in support of a 2025 Bond election. The election will be held by mail. Ballots will be mailed to all Millard voters on January 21st. To count, ballots must be returned by February 11th at 5 p.m. The proposed bond would address security, renovation to older schools, skilled trades programming, and maintenance at all 35 schools.


The bond would not increase the tax rate. This is possible largely through Millard’s consistent bond cycle and commitment to refinancing bonds.
