Reflecting on Our Growth
Over the last five years, the Our Future in Focus Strategic Plan, also known as the MILT Plan, guided us through a period of growth and expansion with the exciting launch of Catherine Hershey Schools for Early Learning. Our next strategic framework will help us continue to grow Milton and Catherine Hershey’s gift into the next generation.
One Community, One Mission
Milton and Catherine Hershey understood the importance of intentionally providing an exceptional educational experience and developing a rich community. Today, along with our Hershey community partners, we are committed to providing MHS students the opportunities to define their futures and pursue success through these meaningful connections.
