Mills University Studies High School

Attention baseball parents! On August 21st at 6:00 p.m. there will be a baseball parent meeting at Mills University Studies High School. Coach Flowers will host this meeting in his classroom which is 3103, and he will be sharing very important about the upcoming season!

Students in Ms. Turnage's technical theater classes took part in a building activity this week where they worked to build a bridge that would hold the weight of a book with only 40 toothpicks and 10 mini- marshmallows. Who doesn't love a hands-on competitive challenge?!?

Students in Ms. Jackson's AVID classes were working on building their relational capacity today! Some of the most important skills we want students to learn include making eye contact, speaking clearly, and being comfortable in social situations. This activity checked all of those boxes! Ask your student about their first day of school activities that they did today and see what you find out.

School days are on the way! Today begins schedule pick up for students - seniors first! - and this is a reminder of prices for items that students can take care of this week and next.

Student IDs are $20. The IDs will be made once school begins, so when you drop by, you are securing payment but you don't have to have the photo made yet.

Parking passes are $20. The student driver's license and the vehicle's registration and insurance must be presented as well.

Lockers are FREE! This is a great chance to have a safe place to put those items like cell phones, headphones, and such since we will be bell-to-bell NO cell this year.

Student schedules are also available. Please note, these are subject to change before the first day of school as classes are being balanced and changes are still occurring. New copies will be handed out to students on day one.

Please note that due to state regulations, we can accept cash or checks only.

We are looking forward to seeing students and families as we prepare for 2025-2026!
