Millis High School would like to welcome the parents of the rising 9th-grade students to join Principal Patrick Nash, 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 Thursday, April 10th. Before the presentation, students and parents are welcome to attend the ice cream social and high school club showcase in the cafeteria from 6-6:30pm, where they can learn about the various clubs available at the high school and enjoy free ice cream! 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 10th, and to welcoming the Class of 2029 as they begin the process of transitioning to life as a Millis High School student!

Millis athletics is switching from NFHS to HUDL starting February 4th. Watch girls and boys basketball along with other sports in the fall and spring by installing the HUDL app on Apple or Android. In addition, the app can be found on SMART TVs like Roku, Amazon Fire Stick and more. No subscriptions needed for the rest of the 24-25 school year. Many schools have gone to HUDL (might require subscription for their home contests), but some might still use NFHS, so please check both.
