School Structure:
C. Milton Wright High School operates on a four-period day schedule. Students are enrolled in eight classes for the year. Some classes will meet daily for a semester, while other classes meet every other day. This schedule provides longer periods of instruction with fewer class changes.
About our School:
Visitors to C. Milton Wright (CMW) High School immediately know they are in a very special place. They are greeted by friendly students,
helpful teachers, courteous staff, and involved parents. They see that learning is important when talking to students who are respectful, teachers who serve as role models, and administrators who help students become responsible adults. The CMW community celebrates its students’ many academic achievements, cheers for its athletes, applauds its music and drama students, and commits on a daily basis to maintain a friendly, safe environment.
Every year, C. Milton Wright students rise to the top with extraordinarily high Advanced Placement (AP) participation and an equally high percentage of AP scores of level 3, 4, and 5. The students also earn very high composite SAT scores. Classroom instruction allows every group of students to consistently exceed the targets established by state and federal governments.
There is an old-fashioned pride and spirit in C. Milton Wright and the community that reminds many of “the way things used to be” co-existing with a pride in the modern technology used in the school. This is a large school with a large heart. Again, welcome!
Community Involvement:
CMW is the center of social life for the vast majority of students. There is significant parent and community support for the school. The PTSO meets monthly; conducts fundraising; and contributes to field trips, assemblies, equipment purchases, and support for special school programs. Booster clubs have also been formed to support the athletic program and the band.
School activities, including the work experience program, the newspaper, and numerous other activities are supported by local business sponsors. CMW students are learning to give to their community. Students teach art and foreign languages at elementary schools, and they are involved in environmental projects on and off campus. Students are encouraged to be involved in church organizations, scouting, and volunteer positions, such as offering their time to nursing homes and hospitals.
