Little Milligan is a great school and growing in extracurricular activities. They now offer band and karrate. As far a dog 'roaming the halls and sleeping in classrooms',I think it's a great atmosphere for the children to learn in! Since Jr.Campbell became principal,lots of new things are happening

Some teachers will not go out of their way to provide classroom modifications for special students as they see the student body as 'just average,' and do not individualize instruction. Attempts to do so are short-lived and not in line with modern teaching practices. Read less
