This 2025 proposal is more focused — with a smaller millage increase, less state funding, and higher construction costs than in previous years.
It reflects today’s financial realities while maintaining our commitment to facilities that meet student needs — including Redskin Assembly Hall, a new gymnasium, and updated academic spaces that ensure safety and opportunity for every student.
Because our community’s strength begins in our schools.

This week, our faculty and staff participated in an additional Capturing Kids’ Hearts Traction Visit — a time for reflection, growth, and continued learning focused on strengthening relationships and building positive school culture.
Through this visit, our team explored new strategies to connect with students, reinforce social contracts, and create classrooms where every child feels valued and heard. We’re proud of our staff’s commitment to continuous growth! ❤️

100 GOOD NEWS CALLS HOME! 🎉📞
Our M.D. Williams administrators set a goal to make 100 positive phone calls home — and they did it! 🙌
That’s 100 students celebrated, 100 families smiling, and 100 reminders that great things are happening every single day at M.D. Williams!
We’re so proud of our students and staff for making kindness, effort, and positivity a daily priority.

Our PHS football players spent the morning greeting M.D. Williams students — opening doors, giving high-fives, and spreading Redskin spirit all around!
Even Superintendent Dr. Arbuckle joined in on the fun! 🙌
What an awesome way to kick off the day — big thanks to our players for showing leadership, kindness, and school pride!

How School Construction Funding Really Works
Community members have asked important questions about how school construction is funded and why districts don’t simply “save up” for large projects.
These informational pieces outline the basic structure of school facility funding — including how local building funds, state partnership funds, and long-term bonds work together — and why rising construction costs make long-term saving alone challenging.
Our goal is to help the community understand how the facility funding mechanism works, not to advocate for or against any specific millage change. We appreciate your engagement and welcome your questions as we continue planning responsibly for the future of our schools.

✨Redskin Assembly Hall✨
Imagine a space where our students can gather for meals, assemblies, performances, and community events—all under one roof. With the 2025 Millage Campaign, that vision becomes reality through the new Redskin Assembly Hall.

A new high school isn’t just about classrooms—it’s about creating a campus where students can learn and grow in a secure, modern environment. From updated security systems to improved building design, the 2025 Millage Campaign ensures safety is built into the foundation of our future.
Because when students feel safe, they can focus on what matters most—learning. ❤️🖤
