District News:

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Craig Consigli is offering staff, students, parents, guardians, caregivers, and community members multiple ways to provide feedback to him about how we are doing as a district. It is important for him to understand what the Milford Public Schools does well, where it needs to improve, and what it might be overlooking from all members and perspectives of our community. Dr. Consigli welcomes the opportunity to sit with any member of the community for 30 minutes to get a better understanding of how MPS is doing. Feel free to email him directly if you are willing to meet. He can be reached at [email protected]. If you would rather not sit for a 1:1 conversation, he will be offering other ways to provide feedback including open forums and surveys.

The Milford High School Athletic Hall of Fame has elected ten individuals and three teams to its “Class of 2025!” Included in this total are two “Old Timer” graduates of MHS, as well as two Milford resident graduates of St. Mary’s Central Catholic High School, which closed in 1973, as the Committee voted in 2023 to open a “St. Mary’s Wing” of the Hall of Fame. The inductees are Robert Alves (1975), Todd Boldy (1988), Brian Brogioli (1984), David Cavazza (1969), Joseph Colelli (1999), Madison Garber (2014), and Shannon Smith (2013). The two inductees from St. Mary’s are Louis Colabello (1967) and Robert Meomartino (1962). We will also be inducting one individual, James Black (St. Mary's 1971), posthumously and three teams - the 2007 Div. I State Finalist Girls Volleyball Team, the 2012 Div. I State Champion Softball Team, and the 2013 Div. I State Champion Softball Team. Inductees will be presented at the Hall of Fame Banquet scheduled for Sunday afternoon, Nov. 23, 2025 at 12 p.m. at the Portuguese Club, Prospect Heights, Milford, Massachusetts. Each of our past programs has been a very special and memorable event, and we look forward to providing another great moment in Milford High School and St. Mary’s CCHS athletic history. The banquet is open to the public, and family and friends are urged to secure their tickets early as past programs have sold out. Tickets are available for $ 40 each and can be purchased by sending a check for the total made out to Milford High School Hall of Fame, c/o Nick Zacchilli, 5 Calvin Drive, Milford, MA 01757.

Ms. Marcela LaLiberte, Adjustment Counselor at Memorial, and Ms. Jenn Noorjanian, English Learner Program Director, were invited to be the guest speakers at William and James College's October Didactic Seminar for students in School and Clinical Psychologists field placements. The two presented on effectively partnering with “First-Language Not English” families in the school setting.  We feel fortunate to share our district's best practices with College students entering the field of education.

The Milford Public Schools had 19 “Year 2” educators from Milford Public Schools engage in learning walks this past week in the Mendon-Upton, Milford, and Ashland Public Schools. These teachers had an opportunity to visit four classrooms and learn from other educators. It was a positive experience for everyone involved. Thank you to our partners in Mendon-Upton and Ashland for making this opportunity possible.

Milford High School hosted a Clean Energy Green Workforce Fair on Oct. 23, 2025. More than a dozen local businesses and organizations showcased the amazing work they are doing in the Clean Energy sector for our students. Students learned about potential STEM career paths, with an eye on the environment.  Did you know that MHS is just 1 of 5 high schools in Masschusetts with the Clean Energy Innovation Career Pathway designation? Our students have amazing opportunities different from most high schools to explore these exciting and expanding STEM fields! 

Twelve Milford High School students led by Mr. Anthony Salvador (Robotics Teacher) and Ms. Deb Monteiro (Career Counselor), participated in the Robotics Challenge at the Massachusetts Manufacturing MASH-UP event at Gillette Stadium, a statewide manufacturing industry showcase that connects students, educators, and industry partners through hands-on innovation. Students designed, built, and demonstrated robot prototypes to local manufacturers and pitched their ideas to a panel of judges for funding approval.
