Overview:
The Millennium Charter High School provides intensive training in the arts, digital media career technical education and 21st century skills and maintains a rigorous college preparatory curriculum during an extended day schedule. The School uses a curriculum that is grounded in current digital media technology for both classroom learning and artistic expression. The focus on collaborative projects and the thematic, interdisciplinary curriculum prepares students for the complexity of the modern world. The Millennium Charter School combines the cultivation of the 21st century skills with the new three “Rs” of Rigor, Relevance and Relationship. This School functions as a total learning environment that responds to a range of learning styles and inspires a love of lifelong learning.
The Millennium Charter High School, a countywide charter high school, will focus on and support learning through digital media and the arts, for students who are not currently served in these areas. Our students require access to the best available, up-to-date practices in curriculum and instruction, in order to succeed in our highly competitive, technology-infused world. This School will utilize the performing and visual arts both in their traditional forms and integrated with other core subjects, for greater engagement and understanding. The program will implement this integrated curriculum through project-based instruction, in an environment of digital media production for career technical education.
Mission:
The Millennium Charter High School inspires creative and innovative learners to develop their gifts and talents for
successful and productive lives as citizens in the 21st century.
Vision:
The Millennium Charter High School envisions a school where students can’t wait to arrive and don’t want to leave. The School will provide educational experiences that engage today’s students in preparation for tomorrow’s world.

The Millennium Charter High School Governing Board has determined that due to unforeseen financial short falls and uncertainties related to construction and site renovation work that the Millennium Charter High School (MCHS) will open in August 2013 rather than 2012. The Board has exhausted all current possibilities for additional financial support. Construction and renovation work, to provide students with a necessary and safe facility, are taking longer than anticipated. The Governing Board has had to face the very difficult decision of delaying the opening of MCHS. The Board is wholly committed to opening the school in 2013.
MCHS would like to invite you to participate in planned fundraising activities, including this December 8th’s collaboration of a world-fame Mariachi band and the Monterey Symphony Orchestra performing in Salinas at Sherwood Hall. We continue our work in fundraising, facilities construction/renovation, and the necessary work to have MCHS open in the 2013 school year, implementing the mission and vision of the school.
