Secondary Education

Welcome to the Department of Secondary Education. We work directly with teachers and administrators in researching, aligning, developing, implementing and monitoring curriculum while focusing on best instructional practices in grades six through twelve.

The Curriculum Frameworks are approved by the Board of Education and assist in ensuring the written curriculum is taught and assessed while providing consistent academic and instructional expectations.

To learn more about what Millard Public Schools offers, explore the middle school and high school handbooks. Then go beyond the course descriptions and into the classroom by following us on Twitter
