Dogs Not Allowed on Campus

We all love our furry friends, but they cannot be on any part of our campus.  This includes the parking lot and outside of our gates.

Only service dogs are allowed:

Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks.

Re-Enlistment Ceremony

One of our families decided to host their re-enlistment ceremony at McMillin.  It was a privilege and honor to witness and share this special family moment.  When asked about choosing the school for the location the mother said, “You have no idea what has McMillin has meant to my children.”

If you are a military family and a member of your family is about to go through a transition: Deployment, reintegration or other family transition please let us know.  We have resources to support military families.
