Thank you to MHS Senior Adam C. for this write up.

On October 15, select MHS seniors traveled to Faneuil Hall for the annual James Otis Lecture, where retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Yale constitutional scholar Akhil Reed Amar, and SCOTUSblog editor Sarah Isgur revisited Alexander Hamilton’s claim in Federalist No. 78 that the judiciary, lacking control of either the purse or the military, would be the “least dangerous branch” of government.

The panel discussion traced how judicial review established the Supreme Court as the final authority on constitutional questions, a premise all three panelists accepted, before turning to the harder question of how that authority should be exercised. A live debate over the landmark Citizens United v. FEC decision brought those differences into focus, alongside discussion of how Congress and citizens might influence the Court’s decisions. For Milton students studying these ideas in AP U.S. History or Government, hearing them taken up by people who have spent their careers inside the legal system made the material more immediate. Each of them headed home with a book by one of the panelists, a lovely way to keep the conversation going!

Last week's MHS Freshman Olympics was a week filled with exciting challenges, fun tasks, and advisory-filled activities that brought the freshman class together!

Spirit Week was a huge hit this year and students jumped right into daily challenges, dress-up theme days, the hidden paw hunt, and the classic candy guessing jar. Each day gave students a new opportunity to show off their creativity, express their personalities, and represent their advisories.
The Rosie's Place drive was also a huge success, with most advisories exceeding the point limit and showing their generosity by contributing to a meaningful cause.

Advisory doors definitely overachieved this year as well, with creative streamers, colorful decorations, and unique themes that showcased each group's teamwork and school spirit.

In addition to the daily activities, the King of the Court badminton championships brought plenty of excitement and friendly competition, with Aloe-gators ultimately taking home the win.

Although the week ended with only one advisory claiming the overall victory, Freshman Olympics 2026 was about much more than winning. It gave freshmen the chance to build connections, work together, show their school spirit, and create lasting memories. Overall, the week was a memorable experience for both freshmen and student leaders, making Freshman Olympics 2026 a success!
