We kicked off our homecoming festivities with our parade yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came out. It was a great turnout. We have some very creative souls out there. The floats were amazing.

As announced on Friday, I am happy to share Millennium remains an "A" school AND for the first time we're an "A" Rated School District! While this is one measurement of our student's academic achievement and college and career readiness, our students and staff continue to make strides inside and outside of the classroom. We see this all across campus. Congratulations to all our stakeholders!!!

Halloween Costumes - Students may wear costumes but not masks that prevent them from being identified.

Upcoming - No School - October 30th

Staff In-service Day

Have a great week Tigers!

I wanted to share some of the work that has been done the past six months in developing our campus master plan. We recently shared the plan with our Governing Board and community at the October board meeting earlier this month. This plan addresses immediate needs on campus with the A, B & C buildings - affectionately known as "the dungeon". 😄 We have a good chunk of money earmarked for these upgrades from the previous bond; however, the outcome of the upcoming bond will have a direct impact on how quickly we can start the project as well as at what level. Our hope is to be able to complete the rebuild of buildings A, B & C all at once.

Millennium Robotics is looking for donations from parents, staff, and teachers of Millennium High School to help the students compete and attend events for the Robotics Competition occurring this year in Arizona.

We would like to establish potential sponsors for each year, and encourage parents to donate, as they can claim up to 200 dollars on their taxes (400 for married couples) for donations to the school, and the Millennium Cyber Tigers Robotics Club.

This would help the club significantly, and play an important role in allowing the students to continue to participate, and attend, the various robotic competitive events, and continue to develop the students interest in the STEM fields of Robotics, Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics.
