Strange and sad comments below... I graduated from MPHS and knew very well who Malcolm X, Gandhi, Rosa Parks and other social justice figures were...
Miller Place School district is definitely not what it used to be. It can not compete with other districts in terms of clubs and extracurricular activities. Administrators in the schools hide behind rhetoric and don't give the parents the respect they deserve for understanding their children and the academic and social needs of their children. Gone are the days of the 50th highest school district in the nation, that's for sure. Blind eyes are turned on those professionals who are incompetent or who should not be working with youngsters.
Miller Place Schools are great in almost every way. The town is mostly white middle class. The crime rate is low. There is no discrimination based on color. The parent who posted the angry post saying so has never sat through the classes at MPHS. I would challenge anyone to find a real correlation between color and grades because it does not exist. Maybe instead of ranting on here you should be helping your children with their schoolwork instead of teaching them to blame racism. As for Miller Place being a blue collar town, the people of Miller Place make more money per capita than over 95% of the world. Next time do some research and stop trying to tear apart a perfectly good town.
As an MPHS Graduate, I am quite horrified to read the statement below posted Sept 19, 2006. My Miller Place education prepared me with a broad cultural base to succeed in all of my post-high school endeavors. I do not understand why he claims that Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi (by the way, he spelled Gandhi wrong ) were not mentioned in classes. The district values cross-cultural education and that was prevalent in every course, through reading Richard Wright books in 10th grade English, to studying anti-war protests in Social Studies, to understanding the cultural foundations of Spanish civil war in Spanish class, and the relevancy and influences of renaissance art in today's society in art class. I would challenge the statement that students at MPHS have never heard of Rosa Parks, perhaps offering that some students simply choose not to listen.
