MHS Business Alliance
The Millbrook High School Business Alliance provides an opportunity for the business community to help prepare students for what lies ahead in the career world. The Business Alliance provides opportunities for students to “experience” a connection between education and the career world through events, activities, and on-the-job experience.
We’re looking for business people to help. Your support can take many forms. Chances are good that you and your company’s unique resources can help build our Alliance.
