"This award demonstrates the exceptional level of care Mrs. Caudle and her staff take with all aspects of managing the District's finances," said Milford Board President, Andrea Brady. "Mrs. Caudle brings not only a tremendous amount of expertise, but also a commitment to ensuring the Milford School District looks to tomorrow when making financial decisions today."

Milford Junior High School 8^th

The American History Essay Contest is open to students in in grades 5-8 to encourage young people to think about our nation's history and relate to it on a more personal and creative level. Each year a selected topic is published by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution and contests are conducted throughout the United States. First place winners in each DAR chapter are submitted to district, state and ultimately the national level.

Milford Junior High American History teachers Mrs. Sherri Smithson and Mrs. Katleyn Issler submitted essays completed by 8th graders for judging at the chapter level. Mrs. Smithson coordinated the topic with common core requirements and with classroom emphasis on connection to the U.S. Constitution and to genealogical research. Out of the 49 students who participated in the contest, the top 10 were submitted to the chapter for judging with Parkse Sneed's chosen to proceed onto the district level.

In addition, kudos to the following five Milford High School students who had their artwork selected from the Southwest Region to move on to the qualifying round: Cassi Smith, Rebecca Kinslow, Isabelle Kolik, Noah Frye, and China Martin.

This summer, MIilford High School students will have an opportunity to complete a portion of Physical Education (P.E.) requirement for graduation from high school. Each student must earn .5 credits (2 semesters) of physical education. Taking P.E. during the summer will free up more time for students to take other requirements and/or electives during the school year. Summer P.E. provides students the opportunity to be active during the summer and meet new friends through participation in supervised activities.

Additionally, students may take the required health credit via the Apex curriculum for an additional $75. Health coursework must be completed outside of summer school hours by the final summer school date of June 19.
