Dear Parents:

As you may know, Millikan High School will be giving incoming ninth graders and their parents a choice of higher standards this fall, not only in dress but also in behavior and achievement. Our new school uniforms for freshmen will be phased in one year at a time. They are expected to contribute significantly to student performance, school climate and parent satisfaction. The Board of Education on January 21 unanimously approved the new uniform requirement for Millikan, a school of choice.

The response has been positive. Although we can enroll up to 980 ninth graders this fall, we expect to have a waiting list for admission. Enrollment is by parent application. If you wish to apply, please sign the enclosed form and return it to your student’s middle school counselor. Admission is offered to students throughout the district with priority being given to those who live in the current Millikan attendance area.

If a parent who lives in the current Millikan attendance area does not choose Millikan, transportation will be provided to another school. Any opening that results will immediately be filled by another applicant on the waiting list.

Thank you for considering Millikan High School as one of your school choices. Best wishes for success in the year ahead.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jeffrey Cornejo

Co-Principal
