My two children have recently started in this school, the 7 yr old loves being with his friends & is doing very well, the 5 yr old is missing her parents but is still cheerful and having fun at school. I am having a hard adjustment period but feel the opportunities offered by this school are too good

The student homes are in the same neighborhood and the houseparents work to make sure they can call and visit as much as possible. They have milked goats, gone to Hershey park & football games. Their classes are 9 & 11 students so they get plenty of individual attention. I am grateful for this wonderful opportunity for my children to achieve any dream they have. Read less

My grandson is a product of Milton Hershey. I would not have had it any other way. He was a student for five years and was a member of the class of, 2000. The years he was there were great years. Not just for him, but for the family as well. The teachers were very dedicated, the houseparents were wonderful,

My personal favorite was, 'The Parent Weekends.' To watch the children perform each year was a treat. I miss these weekends. My grandson was a member of the footbal team. He was also a member of, the, 'New Horizons'. This was an elite singing group.He also belonged to the gospel choir. I miss not going there, but the memories along with many, many pictures will keep the school alive for me, for many years to come. I recommend, Milton Hershey, to anyone and everyone. I will always be eternally grateful to Milton and Katherine Hershey for the gift they gave my grandson and his family. A grateful grandparent Read less
