🔰 We are still reflecting on the incredible Black History Month program held here at Mills University Studies High School last month! ☄️

A massive thank you to our distinguished guest speakers for sharing their time and wisdom with our students:
The Honorable Judge Leon Johnson – Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge ⚖️
Little Rock Alderman Virgil Miller – Mills Class of '71 Graduate 🎓

The celebration was made even more special with moving messages and outstanding performances from our Jazz Band 🎷, Student Council 🗣️, dedicated teachers 🍎, and others.

Thank you to everyone who helped put the pieces together for such a memorable event! #MillsOnTheMove #PuttingThePiecesTogether #BlackHistoryMonth #PCSSDproud

This week at Mills University Studies High School the Arkansas Department of Education Division of Career and Technical Education came to visit our welding and JROTC programs - two of our largest career pathways. They were impressed with the growing numbers in these programs, and they learned that our JROTC program is one of the oldest in Central Arkansas and that our welding program is just a year and a half old. Students are encouraged and engaged in these pathways, and we are proud of their instructors - Mr. Mosely, Lt. Col. Brown, and Master Sgt. Dunn - for helping make them so successful.

Recently the Mills University Studies High School staff passed the Project Adam certification through Arkansas Children’s Hospital. This includes having the campus divided up into zones with certain staff members responsible for responding to a CODE BLUE, meaning a person is unresponsive in the area. CPR training, AED training, and first aid training all came into play with the drills the teams ran, and now the campus is a certified “Heart Safe School”!

We really appreciate each team member and especially nurse McDonald for helping our campus be trained, prepared, and certified for such emergencies.
