A big thank you to Purdue University for visiting Milan High School this week! Our freshmen and sophomores had the opportunity to explore career possibilities and consider what success can look like both in high school and as they plan for the future.

Students also discovered ways they can start preparing now for what comes next. We appreciate Purdue for helping our students think about their goals and all the possibilities ahead!

❤️ Character Counts! ❤️

Today we’re wearing RED for CARING! ❤️

Caring means showing kindness, helping others, listening, and letting people know they matter. A little kindness can make a BIG difference! 🌟

📷 MES had school pictures today, so we didn't see much red and that's ok. Luckily we had good participation from our MIS/MMS friends and community partners.

🧡 Character Counts! 🧡

ORANGE you glad we’re learning about FAIRNESS?! 🧡😄

Fairness means treating others with respect, playing by the rules, listening to different perspectives, and making sure everyone gets a fair chance.

Our Milan students are showing that being fair is always a great choice! 🧡

💚 Character Counts! 💚

Yesterday we wore GREEN for Responsibility!

Being responsible means making good choices, keeping our commitments, and doing what we know is right—even when no one is watching. We’re proud to see our students showing responsibility each and every day! 💚
