For a small school district, MMS has a great program and caring leaders. And with the growing district, it can only get better.

MMS has awesome teachers at all levels and in all disciplines. They have the interest of each and every child.

I would just like to say that the Principal Mrs. Hurley is wonderful with the students. My son thinks of her as his other mother. She was tough when it called for but then she was also understanding. My son graduated from Millsap in 2000. His Middle School years made him what he became. Without Mrs. Hurley he would not have made it very far. Also that year she turned several students around. There was one classmate that would have quit and never would have finished school if she would not have been there. She was 'there' for all of us!
