June 2026
MHS Families,
It is hard to believe we have reached the month of June and the final weeks of another school year at Millbrook High School. This is always an exciting time as we celebrate our students, reflect on a great year, and look ahead to what is next.
We have many special events coming up to help cap off another amazing year. We look forward to recognizing students at the Senior Awards Ceremony and Academic Awards Ceremony. These events are a great opportunity to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of so many students.
Graduation is quickly approaching, and we are excited to honor the Class of 2026 as they take the next step in their journey. It is always a special night for students, families, and staff as we celebrate all they have accomplished during their time at Millbrook High School.
June also brings Regents and final exams. We encourage all students to stay focused, work hard, and finish the year strong. We know our students have put in tremendous effort this year and are confident they will continue to do their best.
We are also excited for Big Blue Day and all the traditions that make the end of the school year so memorable. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. We are proud of all that our students have accomplished and look forward to ending the year on a high note!

As exams approach, here are a few simple reminders that can help students feel prepared and confident:
Get a good night’s sleep. Being rested helps with focus and concentration.
Don’t wait until the last minute to study. Reviewing notes a little each day can go a long way.
Eat breakfast and stay hydrated. Fueling your body helps your brain work its best.
Arrive on time and come prepared. Bring what you need and give yourself time to settle in before testing begins.
Take a deep breath and trust yourself. Students have worked hard all year and are more prepared than they may think.
We know this can be a busy time of year, but we are confident our students will continue to work hard and finish the year strong. Good luck to all students on their Regents and final exams!
Celebrating Our Valedictorian and Salutatorian
Millbrook High School is proud to recognize Dylan Vasquez as this year’s Valedictorian and Lydia Kascsak as this year’s Salutatorian. Throughout their time at Millbrook High School, both students have made a lasting impact through their hard work, leadership, and commitment to our school community.
Dylan truly represents what it means to be a student leader at Millbrook High School. He has balanced academic excellence with leadership in multiple organizations while also excelling as an athlete. What stands out most about Dylan is his strong sense of purpose and desire to make a difference. His passion for sustainability and vision for the future speak to the kind of person and leader he has become. We are incredibly proud of all he has accomplished.
Lydia has consistently represented the very best of Millbrook High School. She is an exceptional student and athlete who leads with kindness, humility, and determination. Whether in the classroom, on the court, or supporting others in the community, Lydia has always led by example. Her work ethic and commitment to others have made a meaningful impact on those around her.
Congratulations to Dylan and Lydia on this tremendous accomplishment. We are incredibly proud of both of them and look forward to seeing all they accomplish in the future.

Millbrook High School Graduation will be held on Friday, June 12th at 7:00 PM on the turf field at Millbrook High School. In the event of weather complications, the ceremony will be moved to the high school gymnasium.
We would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2026. Our seniors have made a lasting impact on Millbrook High School and the greater Millbrook community. Through their hard work, leadership, and dedication, they have helped shape the culture of our school in meaningful ways.
We are incredibly proud of all that our seniors have accomplished and grateful for the many ways they have contributed to our school community. As they begin this next chapter, we wish them nothing but success and happiness in all of their future endeavors.
Congratulations, Class of 2026. Once a Blazer, always a Blazer!
Seniors Learn About the Millbrook CSD Budget
Mr. Garcia met with our high school seniors to present on the latest Millbrook Central School District budget. This was a wonderful opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of how decisions are made within our district while making meaningful connections to government and economics right here at home. We are proud to provide authentic learning experiences that help students see the real world impact of what they learn in the classroom!
Students in Ms. Silverio’s Trial Technique class and Mock Trial team recently did an outstanding job conducting a mock trial based on The People of the State of New York v. Terry C. O’Neal.
Students stepped into the roles of attorneys, witnesses, and court personnel as they worked through the case and presented arguments using evidence and questioning techniques. Their preparation, professionalism, and confidence were on full display throughout the experience.
Adding to the authenticity of the trial, judges were made up of Millbrook High School faculty and staff including Mrs. Prince, Mrs. Kascsak, Mr. Chanowsky, Deputy Freer, Mr. Seipp, and Ms. Silverio. Their participation helped make this a meaningful learning experience for students.
Congratulations to Ms. Silverio and all of the students involved on a job well done. This experience gave students an opportunity to strengthen skills in communication, public speaking, and critical thinking while bringing the courtroom to life.
Music Department Rocks!
Lake Compounce!
Our senior students recently enjoyed an unforgettable day at the park as part of this year’s Lake Compounce trip. This special tradition gave seniors an opportunity to celebrate together and enjoy time with friends as they prepare for graduation.
The trip was a fun way to cap off an incredible year at Millbrook High School. From exciting rides to shared laughs, students had the chance to make memories that will stay with them long after graduation.
These are moments our Blazers will remember forever. We hope all of our seniors had an amazing day celebrating together!
