Around 30 students were sworn in on October 7 to participate in Teen Court, a program that gives students meaningful roles in a restorative approach to school discipline.
Students serving in Teen Court take on roles including judges, jurors and advocates. In PCSSD’s peer-jury model, students present cases, question respondents, deliberate and determine appropriate sanctions while an adult judge presides. Sanctions may include community service, writing or reflection assignments, and workshops or classes focused on conflict resolution, decision-making and life skills.

Mills University Studies High School is proud to share with you the students and the teacher of the month for September!

Our people of the month have both fellow students and teachers comment on why they were nominated. Take a look at the ones from this month!

Freshman- Amanyrany Perez - Amayrany has a great attitude and always shows up to class ready to learn. She never complains and always participates in class. She works well with others and is always respectful.

Sophomore- John Blakeley - He's very kind and he takes pictures with his camera (with permission obviously) and is very smart He's always willing to help out!


Junior- Tessa Rich - Tessa does a lot for the art community. She's also on top of her grades! She's an amazing welder and would be a great student of the month candidate.


Senior- Summer Floyd - The reason why I am picking Summer for serving and leading this month is because we share JROTC together, and I look up to Summer as an older sister, but overall Summer influenced me to become the best cadet that I can be and because of her energy and her personality, I'm joining dance next year and remaining in JROTC until I graduate!


Teacher- Mr Moseley - He's a great teacher and I have a lot of fun in his class. He is teaching me life skills that I can take into the real world. This makes me feel
great about my future and the options I can explore. He has created a fantastic program, and he actually teaches and shows that he cares about us. He is always professional, kind and courteous, and has great rapport with his students.

Congratulations to our hard-working and dedicated students and teacher for September!

Last week, author Emily Soderberg, writer of How to Talk to Your Dog About Murder, visited Ms. Foote’s AP Literature class at Mills University Studies High School!

Soderberg shared with students about her writing process, the work behind getting a book published, and the very real challenge of making time to write while still keeping your day job. Students had the opportunity to ask questions, hear firsthand from a working author, and each received their own copy of the book to take home!

This experience—and the books for our students—was made possible through the WITS (Writers in the Schools) program, CALS, and the Six Bridges Book Festival. We’re grateful for community partnerships that bring writers, books, and experiences like this directly to Mills students.
