We are proud to share the November and December teachers and students of the month. These hard working students have been honored by being nominated by teachers to represent their grade level. And the teachers - also hard working - have been nominated by their students. We are so fortunate to have amazing people like this on our campus every day. #MillsUniversityStudiesHighSchool #ElevatingExcellence #WalkingInGreatness

Mills High School Senior AVID students recently hosted a Transition Day to welcome potential 8th grade AVID students for the 2025-2026 school year.
