Milan High School offers many opportunities for its students to succeed.

Consortium, dual enrollment and advanced placement classes are three ways that students can get a head start on their future career.
Consortium is offered to students at Milan High School, Saline High School, Dexter High School and a couple other local schools.
A student can apply for consortium around the month of March. Applying includes filling out an application and having an interview with the place that the student is applying for acceptance.
Some consortium programs include health sciences, cosmetology and culinary arts.
Health sciences allows students to work in a hospital while beginning to learn about medicine.
Cosmetology students will receive their license by the end of the training. The training includes an entire school year for a few hours each day and work during the summer following the school year.
Dual enrollment is also an option for students. It allows students to study at Monroe or Washtenaw Community College. The class is paid for by the school if the student passes the class. The class also counts for both college and high school credit.
Another way to get college credit is through advanced placement classes, college classes that a student can take at the high school for high school credit. At the end of the year, the student takes a national test.
Depending on the score of the test, and the college they chose to attend, the class may count for college credit.
Many students at the high school are involved in at least one of these programs, and they are glad that they decided to take advantage of the opportunity because it saves them money while showing them what college will be like.
