Fourth grade students in our elementary schools welcomed volunteers from the Milton Garden Club to discuss the Neponset River. Students learned about the history of the river and its connection to the town of Milton, and then worked with maps of Milton to identify their school, ponds, estuaries and Miton landmarks. Topics discussed included the indigenous people of Milton and their relationship with the river, environmental wonders of the Neponset River Estuary and the importance of being caretakers of the river and its tributaries as residents of Milton.
Thank you to the volunteers from the Garden Club who were able to visit every fourth grade class across all four elementary schools.

Our Advanced and AP Art students recently traded the familiar studios of Milton High School for the Venetian-inspired halls of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. This immersive field trip offered an opportunity for our young artists to study world-class works beyond the classroom, providing a day filled with historical discovery and creative rejuvenation.
The experience was centered around a specialized Renaissance themed tour, where students engaged in discussions regarding the museum’s most prominent works. Rather than simply observing, MHS students analyzed the techniques of the Old Masters, sharing insights and asking questions that brought the history of the 14th and 15th centuries to life. A highlight of our trip was conversation around the infamous Gardner Museum Heist. Standing before the haunting empty frames where stolen masterpieces once hung, students reflected on the enduring legacy and vulnerability of the art world.
After touring the museum, students spent time on the outskirts of the museum’s breathtaking central courtyard. Surrounded by lush seasonal flowers and stunning architectural views, the courtyard served as a serene temporary studio where students captured the interplay of light and flora, translating the museum's beauty onto paper.
Beyond their artistic talents, our students served as exceptional ambassadors for Milton High School. All three tour guides took note of the group, specifically complimenting our students on their inquisitive nature, high level of engagement, and respectful representation of Milton High’s student body. We returned to MHS with a renewed sense of inspiration that will undoubtedly fuel our creative projects for the remainder of the year!

On April 17th, Milton High School partnered with Early Investors, Inc. to host its third annual Financial Literacy Fair, bringing together over 50 professional volunteers from 15 local businesses and approximately 200 students.
Participants engaged in a hands-on budgeting simulation that provided practical knowledge regarding monthly expenses, lifestyle choices, and financial planning. This interactive experience allowed students to learn the realities of budgeting, saving, and investing while preparing for life's unexpected costs. It was also a rewarding professional networking experience and a fun event for students to participate in on the day before April break.

Opening tonight at MHS - The Drowsy Chaperone!
What’s The Drowsy Chaperone About?
Feeling a little down, the “Woman in the Chair” puts on the cast album of her favorite musical, the fictional The Drowsy Chaperone. As the record plays, the show magically comes to life right in her apartment. Throw in two lovebirds on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, gangsters disguised as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan, and of course a drowsy chaperone, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a night full of laughs.
️Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another!

Before break, the MHS courtyard was transformed into a stage for the Poetry Club’s second annual Open Mic, an evening filled with moving verses and plenty of laughs. The night was a resounding success, highlighted by a standout performance from Slam Poetry winner Jacky Yang.
This event wouldn't have been possible without a massive team effort. We want to extend a huge thank you to Mike Buzzell (our head custodian) and Dobie Illich (photographer) for their support, as well as Mr. Collyer’s Tech Club for their expert stage and equipment setup. We also want to celebrate our graduating senior leaders—August Alvarova, Oliver Jones, El Craghead-Goldman, Markaysa Porter, and Shannon Hale—for an unforgettable "last hurrah." Finally, a special shoutout goes to Daniel Ruiz, who worked closely with Mr. Cunningham to help the evening run smoothly.

MHS students had another impressive showing at the annual Massachusetts Youth and Government Club conference at the Statehouse prior to break. Nineteen students spent the year preparing mock bills and spent the conference lobbying for their passage in the house and senate chambers.
A few highlights:
Sara Khan was awarded the outstanding debater award in the House and Kayla Nguyen won the outstanding delegate award in the Senate. Sasha Carino also won the Outstanding Media Core Delegate award for her hard work at the conference.
Equally impressive, Milton students won the awards for best bills in both the House and Senate. Layla Raymond won the award for her bill to remove parking space mandates to make more space available for residential housing and green spaces. Daria Malik won the award for her bill to provide a financial safety net to protect residents seeking to move from low paying jobs to higher paying jobs without facing the financial burden of immediate termination of state benefits.
Huge kudos also go to club founder Angela Truong, who won one of three service awards granted - the Servant Leadership award for her effectiveness and humility in growing the club and supporting not just Milton students but all students at the conference.
Finally, 11 Milton students were nominated to participate in national conferences this summer. Layla Raymond, Ava Cheng and Catheline Daniel were nominated to attend the National Judicial Conference, focusing on the role of the judiciary in the government. Angela Truong, Averlyn Truong, Danica Carino, Kagan Brien, Sara Khan Sophie Shaw and Sasha Carino and Layla Raymond were nominated to attend the Conference on National Affairs, focusing on the role of the legislative branch.
Thank you to club advisor H. Hardie and congratulations to our students on their impressive work this year!

The MHS Investment Club recently visited Bentley University’s high-tech trading floor for a firsthand look at collegiate-level finance. Our students shadowed Bentley’s Investment Group as they managed a $2.6 million portion of the university’s endowment, providing a rare glimpse into the sophisticated research and disciplined analytical strategy required to oversee a multi-million dollar portfolio.
This immersive experience served as a powerful bridge to our Personal Finance curriculum and the Investment Club's focus on investing by allowing students to see classroom concepts like asset allocation and risk management applied in a live, professional environment. By engaging with collegiate mentors and observing real-time trading operations, MHS students gained invaluable insights into the complexities of professional-grade market analysis.
