MHS-CTE Renovation Project Takes Center Stage in Milford's Voting Day

	Warrant article one addresses decluttering, redesigning, and turning our cramped science labs and art rooms into a learning haven for our MHS students.

Milford, NH - Aimed at upgrading MHS (Milford High School) and CTE (Career and Technical Education) infrastructure and improving the quality of learning for the students, the Milford residents will make their voices heard on March 11th regarding the most widely discussed MHS-CTE renovation project. The project costs $23.6M and has been carefully planned with input from community members, local leaders, and experts in urban development. It has been scaled back in both size and scope after extensive community discussions regarding its warrant article and the project's budget and funding sources.

The revised project focuses on the most urgent improvements and essential infrastructure updates and safety enhancements such as replacing a 150K sq. ft. leaky roof, redesigning science and art classrooms and restrooms, replacing HVAC units, exhaust fans, and unit ventilators, and renovating the main entrance for safety reasons. Renovating the current classrooms of the Applied Technology Center (ATC) and updating equipment is necessary to ensure students are workplace ready and building the skills they need to receive industry credentials before they graduate from Milford High School.

Although the project has been dramatically scaled back, it still includes providing a dedicated space at the high school building for Project Drive students and staff who are currently housed at the aging BALES building, giving them access to supports and services on MHS campus and allowing their teachers to collaborate and share resources with department colleagues at MHS. Additionally, Milford will be eligible to receive state funding for the CTE portion of renovation of up to $9.9M if 60% of the Milford voters pass a $13.7M local bond.

Voting on March 11th will take place at the Milford High School from 6 am to 8 pm. If approved by the community, the project will bring significant benefits to Milford, from enhancing educational spaces to updating the safety and security of the students. With a focus on student achievement and well-being, the district strives to continuously improve its facilities and resources to best support the needs of the students, staff, and the entire Milford community.
