The Board of Education Student Showcase recognizes students with outstanding achievement in school-sponsored academics, athletics, and activities.

Millard encourages students to stretch themselves with Advanced Placement courses, and more students are accepting the challenge. The Board of Education received the 2025 Advanced Placement report during last night's meeting. Millard students took 3,464 AP tests this past spring - an increase of 280 exams over the previous year. Students also did very well, with the percentage of students scoring a passing grade of 3, 4, or 5 rising to 86%. The previous year's score was 80%. Millard offers 29 Advanced Placement courses, including the newest addition, AP Precalculus.

Millard offers several Dual Enrollment course opportunities. Students may earn both high school and college credit. The Board received the 2025 Dual Enrollment report last night. An impressive 29,312 college credits were earned by Millard students in the 2024-25 school year. The total savings through our partnerships with the University of Nebraska Omaha and Metropolitan Community College due to reduced tuition came to a total of $2,682,556.
