Welcome to Milford High School!
by Principal Dave Cluff
I hope your families have had the opportunity to have some fun, relax, and create some memories during the break. Our staff has been working very hard well into the summer to learn new strategies and find ways to continue to improve educational experience for the students of Milford High. We have learned so much and we are excited to share with our students.
Our staff is committed to providing students with an outstanding education. If you have questions or concerns throughout the year please don’t hesitate to contact the teachers for help and clarification. Education is most effective when we can coordinate efforts of students, teachers, and parents and work towards a common goal. We will do our best to keep accurate records and keep you informed of your student’s progress.
