Milton High School Mission

Milton High School is in the process of renewing its accreditation through New England Association of Schools and Colleges. A crucial first step is examining the school's mission. The mission should shape the culture and determine the priorities of the school, serving as a guiding force behind decision-making related to the school's curriculum, instruction, assessment, policies, and procedures. In order to create an effective school culture that promotes improved learning for all students, our school must first identify its core values and beliefs about learning that will function as explicit foundational commitments to students and the community. Data from this survey will be analyzed by the leadership team at the high school. Thank you for your time.
