School Focus

Bret Harte Middle School is in their first year of partnership with Mills Teacher Scholars. The electives teachers are working together to examine how culture and identity relate to safety and access for their students. Teachers are collaborating across grades and disciplines to build a culture of inclusion and exploration in their content and as a site.
