Dual Enrollment Saves Students More than $1.5 Million

Each year Millard high school students save money on their future college education by dual enrolling in high school classes that also offer college credit. Last night, the Board of Education received the annual report for dual enrollment. The total savings through the University of Nebraska Omaha and Metro Community College due to reduced tuition came to $1,647,214.

Students in Millard have benefited from dual enrollment since 2003. Many of these are select Advanced Placement® courses they take for high school credit and, at the same time, pay tuition and receive transferable credit through UNO. Additionally, dual enrollment opportunities now include several non-Advanced Placement® courses at UNO and courses completed through MCC by participation in a Millard Career Academy, an MCC Career Academy, or Early College.

More Than Half a Million Meals Served

The Board of Education received an updated food service report last night which showed the number of meals served to the community throughout the pandemic. From March through August, Millard served 698,036 meals. We appreciate our food service workers creativity and dedication as they switched up their operations and provided curbside pick up throughout the summer months. They continue to provide curbside pick up for young people between 1 and 18 who are not in school. Click here for more information.
