Ten Milford High School students participated in an 11 hour interactive training, between Sunday and Monday, where they learned methods for teaching resistance skills to 5th grade students. The students broke up into two teams to learn the concepts and skills, then practiced the lesson they will teach to students. The focus of their lesson is on peer pressure and refusal techniques for saying no to alcohol and other peer pressures such as vaping. The high school students had a lot of fun and are looking forward to presenting to the 5th graders across the district.

MHS Career Expo 2023 a success! We had over 300 eleventh grade students attend a keynote session with Milford alum Ben Stephenson, Vice President, Global Practice Lead for Kelly Science and Clinical Research. Ben spoke to the students about goal setting and how to plan for the future.
After hearing the keynote speaker, students had the opportunity to explore more than 80 local businesses as they had set up booths for the students to visit and talk with.
The goal of the career expo is for students to explore career and education options and to think about which option is the best fit for them after they graduate from high school. They were seeded with the question "What path will you take to obtain the career and lifestyle that you want? It’s up to you to create the life that you want!"
Thought options included:
On the job training
Certification program
Apprenticeship
Vocational/trade school
Military
Community College
Four year university
Possible question topics for the career presenters: Education or degree required, average wage, job duties, potential for advancement, job satisfaction.
Possible question topics for the post-secondary institutions: Admissions requirements, tuition and room/board costs, majors or programs offered, financial aid and scholarships available, extracurricular activities offered.
Thank you to Ms. Engel and the CTE team for putting on this very successful event for the Junior class!
Every so often, a piece of theatre comes along that has the opportunity to have an everlasting impact on those who view it. Whether it's calling attention to a particular issue or presenting cautionary tales, these pieces educate and inform through empathy and insight. A small group of actors at Milford High School have chosen to take on a piece that does just that. The Milford High School Theatre Company will present The Triangle Factory Fire Project (a re-telling of the tragic 1911 factory fire that had social, political, & economic repercussions that have lasted to this day) at the MHS Performing Arts Center on March 3, 2023 at 7:00pm and March 4, 2023 at 1:00pm & 7:00pm. Tickets are available online at www.mhsperformingarts.com and they will also be available at the door.

Education General 2 students have spent this week completing training on MY-Registry to prepare for pre-student teaching in our district area schools. This hands-on learning experience will allow students to see first hand what a career in education entails. As a new CTE class in our district, possible college credit or scholarships could be sought. It is part of the new state Future Proud Michigan Educator launch that many districts are starting. This training follows students post high school and can help them find entry level employment in many fields working with children. Keep an eye out in the spring, our Cadets will be in the following buildings: Johnson Elementary (2), Highland Elementary (5), Heritage Elementary (5), Muri Middle School (1). A huge THANK YOU to our district host teachers!
The Stock Market Club is a student-led club that uses a mock stock market to explore their interests. Starting on February 21, they will use the knowledge gained to compete in a mock stock market game. Students have the opportunity to utilize seminar time on Wednesdays to participate.
If you've ever thought about joining the Huron Valley Marching Band- come join the meeting and hear more about it and ask questions.
The Stagecraft class is part of the CTE track for visual and performing arts at MHS. The class meets as a 7th hour every fall and students learn technical theatre skills and complete several hands-on projects. One of the culminating projects this past fall was a Fake Foods Project. Students worked in small groups to create a realistic full meal using entirely non-edible materials. Groups decided on a meal genre - Italian, Mexican, Fancy, Asian, Starbucks, All-American, Breakfast, etc) and had to create 8 individual pieces. The photos here include two of the Starbucks items - a coffee drink and some cookies. These items are made with clay, resin, paint and actual Starbucks packaging. Other projects include scenic painting for the fall musical, creating fully realized stuffies from drawings provided by Highland Elementary Junior Kindergarteners (sewing project) and a 1/4" scenic design model. Stagecraft is a 7th hour open to any junior or senior. Students can see Ms. Weeks for more information and to sign up for Fall 2023.
