PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Greetings,
Welcome to another edition of the Red Hawk Report!
AP Honor Roll
I am very pleased to announce that Milton High School was named to the
College Board AP Honor Roll. We were one of 10 schools in Wisconsin and
250 in all of the United States to be named to the honor roll. To be selected,
schools must have three consecutive years of increased enrollment in
Advanced Placement classes, increased minority participation, and increased
performance on the AP exam. In 2019, MHS had a total of 429 AP exams taken
with a 74% pass rate, well above the national average of
50%. Congratulations to all the staff and students whose hard work is
recognized with this award. This is the 3rd time MHS has been named to the
Honor Roll in the last 10 years.
Final Exams
First semester exams are January 14, 15, and 16 (the schedule is in this edition
of the Red Hawk Report). Please take the time to review with your student
their exams and their plan for preparing for the end of the term
assessments. This is a good way to prepare for the exam structure they will
find at the post-secondary level. This is also a great opportunity to talk about
how the year is going and to get them to think about future planning for
courses for next year or their plans for after graduation.
Update on High School Additions and Remodel
The plans for the additions and remodeling at the high school are just about
complete and soon the district will be putting out the bids. We anticipate the
breaking of ground this spring. During the construction, there will be various
parts of the building or grounds that will be sectioned off from the public
which will have an impact on building use. Please be looking for
announcements on the progress and information on which parts of the
building or grounds will be inaccessible.
