Millennium High School

The Millennium High School Alumni AssociationOpens in a new browser tab was created in 2016--ten years after the first class graduated from MHS! Our mission is to foster a lifelong relationship between MHS and its alumni. We want to provide a professional networking platform for our diverse alumni base while promoting and facilitating alumni sponsorship of academic and extracurricular programs. Once an MHS student graduates, they are a new voice in the Association and a member for life!

History

Millennium was founded by former principal Robert Rhodes and former assistant principal Danielle Salzberg in 2002. Madelyn Wils, as chair of Manhattan Community Board 1, led an effort raising $16 million to build the school and coordinated planning and site construction. Additional funding included a $500,000 grant from New Visions for Public Schools with money donated from the Bill & Melinda Gates FoundationOpens in a new browser tab, and contributions from the Carnegie CorporationOpens in a new browser tab and the Open Society InstituteOpens in a new browser tab. The school occupies the 11th, 12th and 13th floors of 75 Broad Street, the 1929 "International Telephone Building." Mr. Rhodes has been a public school teacher and administrator for more than 20 years. During his tenure at Millennium, he received Clark University's Secondary Educator of the Year Award in 2003, and in 2008 was awarded a Cahn Fellowship designed by Teachers College to recognize outstanding principals. MHS' current enrollment is approximately 660 students.
