Every January, Milton students have exams in January, unlike many other schools that have them in December or June. Although exams can be stressful, Milton does a great job of easing us into an almost relaxing exam week. The week before exams, each class reviews material from the year allowing students to ask questions and work with classmates. The Student Activities Association (SAA) plans fun events the weekend preceding exam week to give students study breaks. On Friday night, we have Improv Night. My friends and I arrived at King Theater at 7:30 for an 8:00 show to make sure we got good seats! The senior Improv class performs live improv for us through various games and hilarious activities. The theater is always filled! On Saturday night, SAA organized A Cappella Night—a night where a capela groups from around the region, as well as Milton’s four a cappella groups, perform for Milton students. Both nights are great study breaks. This year, exam week began on Monday January 26th. Students either have a morning exam 9:00–11:00, or an afternoon exam from 1:30–3:30. There are many group study sessions and a teacher from each department is in the Skills Center every night in case we have questions. I enjoy exam week because we get to sleep in and have a lot more time to study than in a usual week. This week, due to the big snowstorm, we had two snow days, which pushed back exams two days allowing for a nice relaxing week and lots of time to play in the snow!
Hi, and thanks for visiting us! We’re the leaders of Milton’s Orange and Blue Key (OBK) Society. OBK is the group of about 160 students who give tours to students and families visiting our campus. We work closely with the admission office to make sure you get a good sense of what it’s like to be a student at Milton. We hope that you’ll visit us in person, and until then, enjoy this “insider’s” view of the School we love.
