The Mill Creek School has been a place where young people have had the chance to experience success in school. Emotional or social concerns or difficulty adjusting to a mainstream school environment may have created a roadblock that seriously affected the student’s academic or social development. The school is designed to enable adolescents who are struggling with personal and/or educational difficulties to continue their studies and to improve their ability to be successful in school. The school itself is a setting where academic achievement and personal growth can take place together in a warm and caring environment. Mill Creek is a place where students are expected to fulfill their academic requirements, manage their behavior responsibly and address personal concerns that have been problematic in previous school settings. The staff of the school is available throughout the day to offer the student assistance with meeting these expectations.
