Did you know?
Millard’s academic accomplishments do not happen by chance. Our strategic plan called for the creation of an AP Culture, encouraging all students to take rigorous classes. Millard students make up just 7 percent of Nebraska’s enrollment, but account for 27 percent of the AP exams taken in the state. The Millard Public Schools Foundation pays for the cost of the AP exams.
