FY27 Budget | PreK Registration | 8th Grade Vs. Teachers | and more...

On behalf of the Milton Town School District, I would like to express appreciation for the citizens of Milton for coming out to support our FY27 School Budget. Although the budget failed by a narrow margin, the high turnout demonstrates an engaged electorate who care about the issues.

Throughout the budget process the MTSD Board of Trustees were thoughtful and strategic in trying to bring forward a budget that maintains critical investments for student learning while being mindful of the needs of the community. This included eliminating 8 full time positions and one home to school bus, using $430,000 of the Education Reserve Fund for one time expenses, and applying $300,000 of the FY24 Fund Balance to lower the tax rate. 

We want the Milton Town School District to be the very best it can be. We know, strong schools create strong communities; we want to make the Milton community strong and proud.  We have an amazing faculty and staff, a vibrant and talented student body and very supportive family and community partnerships; we are very fortunate. 

Over the next month, the Board of Trustees will continue to engage in dialogue with the community. They will continue to be thoughtful and strategic. By mid-April, they will need to approve a proposed budget for a revote. We appreciate your continued engagement and support. 

MMS's favorite tradition of the year: the Annual 8th Grade vs. Staff Basketball Game! The energy in the gym was electric as the bleachers filled with cheering fans, homemade signs, and plenty of school spirit.

This game is always a true highlight of our year—a time for our community to come together, share some laughs, and witness some surprisingly "athletic" moves from the faculty.

A Spectacular Halftime Show

The excitement didn't stop when the whistle blew for halftime! Our very own MMS Cheer Team took to the court for a high-energy performance that brought the house down. Their stunts, spirit, and precision were a major highlight of the event and kept the momentum going for the second half.

The Final Score

While the 8th graders put up a valiant effort with some impressive fast breaks and three-pointers, the Staff pulled off the victory this year! Experience (and perhaps a few strategic timeouts) carried the day, but the real win was the incredible sportsmanship and community building shown by both sides.

A huge thank you to the cheer team, the players, and everyone who cheered from the sidelines. 

On the evening of March 12th, both the MHS Band and Chorus put on a concert in our auditorium.  It was a wonderful event which showcased both the groups, while also creating space for some smaller ensembles from within the larger groups to perform.

MHS is thrilled about the current trajectory of the music program, under the direction of Jenna Schultz and we look forward to the music and memories that will be made in the 2026-2027 school year and beyond!
