Milford Mill Academy

What Milford Mill Academy does

Milford Mill Academy is a public high school located in Windsor Mill, Maryland, operated by Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS) and serving students in grades 9 through 12. The institution is led by Principal Tryalah Shipman with a leadership team of four Assistant Principals, a Magnet Coordinator, Athletic Director, and department counselors, and serves four active grade-level cohorts (Classes of 2025 through 2028). The school draws its base enrollment from a state-defined BCPS attendance zone and supplements it by competitively admitting students from outside the zone into its Magnet and CTE programs.

The school's core educational offerings are eight Magnet and CTE programs spanning Fine & Performing Arts (Vocal Music, Design & Production, Dance, Band, Visual Arts) and Career & Technology Education (Automotive Service Technology, Building & Construction Technology, Cosmetology). The Cosmetology curriculum is MD Board-approved at 1500 hours, qualifying graduates for the state operator licensing exam; Automotive is NATEF-certified; programs articulate to CCBC for college credit. Technology infrastructure is wholly BCPS-managed: Chromebooks are issued 1:1 to students through the district device program alongside a tiered device-fine schedule of $30 to $200, with the Schoology LMS, Focus parent portal, and Microsoft 365 as the standard software stack. The Early College Access Program (ECAP) enables eligible students to take up to four CCBC courses per year at no or reduced cost, and a Direct Admit partnership with the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), announced 2025-03-16, extends a guaranteed-admission pipeline to graduates.

The business model is public-sector: the school does not charge tuition, generates no commercial revenue, and is funded through BCPS and Maryland state education budgets. The only direct charges to families are minor device-fine fees. Outreach is conducted through community-facing events such as the scheduled October 6, 2025 Magnet Showcase, with the student body also supported by 25+ clubs including NSBE, Robotics, Coding/Gamers, Chess, and FBLA. Magnet program seats for grades 8 through 10 are filled competitively, while Zone-resident enrollment is statutory.
