What students are saying...
"In Business this year we learned how to run a business in the classroom. We created a business called Sparty Stickers, a non profit organization that sold stickers promoting school spirit. Students were separated into departments as a real company would. It taught us how to work with other people and develop business skills while completing meeting goals and objectives."

"I walked into Business Principles with little to no background knowledge. Now, I can differentiate between types of businesses, evaluate product pitches, and use the accounting equation to track my own finances. I’ve learned a lot of skills in this class that will help me as a business major in college."

"The business courses offered at Milford High School taught me how to be a leader. Even though I want to major in advanced practice nursing, the courses gave me real life and hands on experiences that will be very useful in the long run. I used these skills and now I am Vice President of Future Business Leaders of America, and have placed first at last year's state leadership conference for an accounting test. I plan on continuing to take business courses throughout the rest of high school to learn more life skills that will also benefit me in the medical field."

"The business courses at Milford High School provided me with information that has been helpful to understand my college courses. The business courses did not only give me background information, they taught me things I am currently studying in my college classes now. I have been successful in my coursework because of this and I have helped peers understand certain topics because of my extensive prior knowledge."
