FIFTY YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED EXCELLENCE
For fifty years the faculty and staff at Millikan Middle School have
dedicated themselves to providing each student the opportunity to achieve
academic excellence. We work hard to ensure that each student attains the
education that he/she deserves and inspire the personal character from within
to bring out the best in every child.
Through our Academies we structure our instructional program to meet the
unique needs of each of our students and emphasize all forms of instructional
and extra-curricular excellence. It is our goal to create a positive and
supportive learning environment for each student.
We recognize and we teach students that there are no shortcuts to success. We
expect all students to work hard by having exemplary attendance and work

every goal attainable.
We are proud to welcome you as part of the Millikan tradition of fifty years
