Milpitas High School
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
MHS, Milpitas High School is a public four-year comprehensive high school in Milpitas, California, a suburban community with a population of 61,000, adjacent to San Jose and close to Oakland and San Francisco. It is one of three high schools in the city of Milpitas. Milpitas High School is run by the Milpitas Unified School District. Dr. Charles Gary is the headmaster of the school and serves as the prior of the school's instructors. Milpitas High School simultaneously strives to be one of the leading schools in the technology-savvy Silicon Valley. It seeks to achieve the highest levels of distinction in the discovery and transmission of knowledge and understanding, and in the education of its students.
Milpitas High School was directly preceded by Samuel Ayer High School. A continuum of education had existed in what is now the city of Milpitas since the Spanish colonial era, only to be interrupted by brief periods from 1848 to 1858 upon the secularization of the Californian missions, and 1954 to 1959, in which James Lick High School in the nearby city of San Jose became the high school for Milpitas residents. Milpitas High School is located on Escuela Parkway in Milpitas, north of Jacklin Road. The eastern side of the school is the main entrance and student drop-off area, and the western side consists of a football stadium, track, and mural of Milpitas High School's mascot, the Trojan.
The Milpitas High School Football team made MHS history by winning the CCS Championship for the first time. They competed against Piedmont High School beating them 39 to 21. This was the second time Milpitas High School made it to the CCS division.
The mission of the Milpitas High School Football is to provide each student with an equal opportunity to succeed by promoting intellectual growth, creativity, self-discipline, cultural and linguistic sensitivity, democratic responsibility, economic competence and physical and mental health so that each student can achieve his or her maximum potential.
