Milford High School

Senior sunset tonight. Start at 8:00pm on the MHS Football field.

Milford High School will be presenting a Mock Car Crash this morning (between 9:30-10:30 a.m.) today in front of the school. All juniors and seniors will be able to witness the real events that take place during a car crash, such as ambulances, police cars, a fire truck, and hearse demonstrating an actual rescue and medical transport. No students will actually be injured in this event, and police cars are not at the school for any real emergency. As real as it may look, everyone will simply be acting out a scenario of what could happen in a car collision.

Calling all future STEAM leaders. If you are interested in technology, engineering, programming, design or marketing, the HOT Robotics team is the team for you! The HOT Team is recruiting for the 2022-2023 season and will hold an information meeting for students and parents to introduce the HOT Team, discuss our activities for the season, and answer your questions. Please join us June 1 from 6-8 PM in the Milford High School LGI for more information. Applications for the team will be available at the meeting and are due June 13th.

This past Wednesday, Milford High School honored 154 individual students and 26 scholarship recipients at the Class of 2022 Senior Honors Convocation. These students maintained a 3.50 and higher GPA their entire high school career in addition to being involved in multiple extracurricular and community activities. Each of these students has worked tirelessly to be the best and this academic feat could not have been accomplished without a high degree of dedication, perseverance, and commitment to their academics. These students exemplify the HVS Vision: Inspiring and Building Futures, One Student at a Time. We look forward to them continuing their post-secondary education at some of the top universities in Michigan and around the country. These Seniors are Milford High Schools' brightest and best.

MHS Parents- We have been asked by many people how they can support the MHS Charity Week and we wanted to make sure we communicate all of the different ways to help. First off, encouraging your son/daughter to participate in the week is number one. Not only are we supporting a great charity in the John Drypen Foundation but we also want this to be a memorable week for your son/daughter. A few parents have reached out about donating additional money to purchase a MavPass for students who may not be able to afford it. We will absolutely take additional donations and apply it towards and “Adopt a Mav” fund. Our students running our ticket table will keep track of those who donate extra and will put it towards the fund and distribute MavPasses and event tickets accordingly. We are accepting all forms of payment. Cash, checks, credit card, and Venmo. Ticket purchases can be made in the commons at all lunches. Venmo ticket purchases and donations can be made @mhscharityweek2022 and students can show proof of purchase at the table to receive their tickets. Our students are putting a lot of information on social media so check out the Milford High School Facebook Page or Brucemaverick Instagram for more information.

Thank you to The Genisys Credit Union for coming to our Personal Finance classes on Tuesday. The Reality Fair simulates one year of independent living and teaches the students how to manage their finances with a set budget via an app. They choose a career, are assigned a credit score and have to navigate through buying housing, clothing, food, etc. It's very interactive and is a real eye opener for them.

This past season saw the Huron Valley Swim and Dive Programs excel not only in the pool but in the classroom. Both the Boys and Girls swim teams were awarded Academic All-State Honors, with the 2nd and 4th highest team GPAs in Division 1, respectively. Both teams additionally qualified for their first-ever National Scholar Team Gold Award, the highest level awarded, which will place each team somewhere in the top 60 team GPAs in the Country. This team success would not have been possible without our Seniors, of whom we had 8 individual Academic All-State Athletes; Jessica Duff, Paxton Moore, and Lorenzo Giovannelli from Lakeland, Gracie Smetana, Anna Malik, and Fletcher Smith from Milford, Hassan Ezzeddine and Ian Twigg from IA West. We would like to give additional recognition to Milford Seniors Gracie Smetana, Anna Malik, and Fletcher Smith as they will be recognized as an Academic All-Americans on behalf of the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association. Congratulations on a great year in the Pool and in the Classroom

Drumroll, please! We are so proud to announce Milford High School's 2022 valedictorian and salutatorians. Earning a 4.44, one of the highest GPAs ever at MHS, senior Fletcher Smith has earned the top spot: Valedictorian. Seniors Zachary Bonza-Brodie and Erin Scheske each earned a 4.41 and will share the honor of salutatorian. Seven other seniors also earned top GPA honors: Nicholas Blanchard, Grace Carey, Paige Crowley, Elise Elliot, Ryan Meyer, Kenna Morgan, and Ella Warzecha, each earning well above a 4.0. In order to earn above the traditional 4.00, students must excel in all classes including many Advanced Placement-level courses. Each of these students has worked tirelessly to be the best and this academic feat could not have been accomplished without a high degree of dedication, perseverance, and determination. These students exemplify the HVS Vision: Inspiring and Building Futures, One Student at a Time. Congratulations! #HVSProud

This week in our Personal Finance classes, we had a guest speaker, Craig Sapelak, from Lake Michigan Credit Union visit to discuss the importance of your credit score. Mr. Sapelak shared how to build up good credit and the repercussions of having a low credit score. Our students enjoyed the question and answer opportunities along with the donut holes he brought for the students. His visit provided students with excellent information from a business perspective and reinforced what they have been working hard to learn in class.
