School Reviews
| 4 5/19/2020 I absolutely enjoyed my short time at Mill Creek. The teachers were amazing, the principals, all staff. The administrative team were extremely supportive of me and were great with handling a situation between me and a couple of other students. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Lexi Graham |
