Welcome to Milton High School

Milton High School is a school of approximately one thousand one hundred students.  Serving the student body and community are four administrators, 70 professional staff, one school nurse, 41 support staff, and one school resource officer.   MHS also houses the district Technology Department, Milton Recreation Department, and Milton Food Service.  The collective mission of the entire staff is to see every student graduate ready to meet their goals after high school, be it in a four year university, technical school, the armed forces, or preparation for a career.   We are very proud of our school and community and all of the many great people who make it their purpose to serve our kids.

It is our desire at Milton High School to provide for and promote an exceptional educational experience, and to this end we appreciate parent and community input.  Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions or concerns you may have.  If you are looking at these pages because you are moving to the area, please also feel free to contact me at the phone number or e-mail address above to schedule a visit.

MHS Opportunities

Our school emphasizes a quality education for all students, and provides opportunities for students to grow as individuals. Our curriculum pushes students with 12 Advanced Placement courses and 9 Transcripted Credit Courses with Blackhawk Technical College. A description of our full curriculum can be found in the Program of Studies Book found on the Counseling Office tab of the website. This includes the full range of special education services and courses that are offered to support all segments of the student population. We encourage students to be well-rounded and active, hosting twenty men’s and women’s athletic teams and more than twenty co-curricular and extra-curricular clubs and organizations. These organizations include a student-run television station, two student publications, one of the largest FFA chapters in the state, and many more.  

We also boast a music program that has marching bands and show choirs who compete regionally and nationally. We encourage our students to become active in at least one of the many great activities.

MHS Achievements

The students of Milton High School are regularly recognized for their many achievements in both the academic, athletic and co-curricular fields.  Milton High School consistently scores above the state average on standardized testing. Over 17% of our student body takes at least one Advanced Placement Exam.

MHS Community

Milton High School is part of a very rich and supportive community that works hard to make education a priority.  One example of this is the high attendance and participation we experience in most all of the parent booster and support groups.

Profile and Professional Experience

I am excited to join the Milton community and serve as the new principal of Milton High School. MHS has a long and proud tradition and I am looking forward to helping continue and grow the great work that is taking place. 

I earned my undergraduate degree in Business and Marketing Education from UW-Whitewater in 2003. I then started my teaching career at Kenosha Tremper High School where I taught for six years before entering administration. I served as a Dean of Students, Assistant High School Principal, Middle School Principal, and High School principal throughout my career. During that time, I earned my master of Science degree in Educational Leadership from National Louis University and completed the PhD program through Cardinal Stritch University in 2013. 

My wife and I met while we were in high school and just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary this year. My wife has been an elementary school teacher for the past 21 years and together, we have three amazing children. We are excited to have them join the School District of Milton with one at the middle school and two in the high school. I see my role as serving every child in the district and ensuring they receive the highest level of education and receive the skills that prepares them for the world they are about to enter. As both as a parent and a principal, I serve our students, staff, and families to ensure we continue the high expectations and opportunities at Milton High School. As always, please reach out with any questions.
