Message from the Principal

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit"
- Aristotle

Connect-Ed Message System

Did you receive a recorded message from school administration?
Throughout the Milford School District, the superintendent as well as building administrators have the ability to utilize a telephone messaging system to share emergency/important messages with parents and staff. The Connect-ED system can deliver the same personalized message to many recipients, and is an easy way to get important information via the telephone. The system also has a helpful feature: the Play it Again number. If you didn't hear the entire message the first time, you can call 1-877-737-5291
