Our EAST students are already sharpening their critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. They worked together to build a pyramid out of cups without touching the cups with their hands! We can’t wait to see what projects these students will work on next.

On the day before the first day of school, everyone couldn't wait so they came to Mills Middle School on Saturday to feel the Comet BLAZE! A wonderful turnout from our Comet Team families and scholars who toured the halls, retrieved their class schedules, met teachers, got their ID's, ate hot dogs and got acquainted (or reacquainted) with their school. #millsmiddleschoolcomets #orientation #firstdayofschooleve #pcssdproud
DAY #1 = SUCCESS!
An awesome first day was had at Comet Nation! Teachers spent the day building relational capacity (getting to know and making connections) with their students. Students were engaged in collaborative activities, writing, public speaking, and having fun. Great day all around! #thebestisyettocome #wewin #millsmiddleschoolcomets #pcssdproud #firstdayof school #smiles

'Twas the night before school starts, and all through the district
Our teachers are feeling quite optimistic.
The buses and classrooms were prepped with such care,
Ready to welcome the students with fresh lessons to share.
In Maumelle, stingers from five awesome school
Will swarm the hallways and follow the rules.
Always buzzing to play, to learn and to grow
Excited to be back at the best school that they know!
All the birds, bears and bobcats from our Sylvan Hills Feeder,
Will be ready to go because they're so eager.
They're quick to connect, joining hands, setting records
Bringing smiles and pride to the city of Sherwood!
Our Mills feeder students shine bright as they dream
We’ve got dragons, big cats and birds on the team.
Soaring to become Comets, brightening the sky
As they work to graduate from Mills University Studies High.
As Senators, Broncos, Gators and Panthers climb into bed
Our Robinson students are resting their heads.
This feeder is DRIVEN, they are ready to rock
It’s time to sleep, no more watching the clock.
The start of the 24-25 school year is looking so bright!
Our teachers, admin and staff wish you all a good night!
