Milner Crest Education Center

Welcome to a new school year at the Milner Crest Education Center!

This year marks an exciting milestone for our district as we officially open a building that now houses seven unique programs: Little Pirates Preschool, Destinations Academy, Resource Link Charter School, CBD9 Online, MHS Online, the Teen Parent Program, and our After School Program.

This move is about more than sharing a building. It’s about building a community. Each of our programs serves a distinct purpose, but we are united by a common vision: to know every student by name, strength, and need, and to prepare them for life after graduation. By coming together, we can collaborate more closely, share resources more effectively, and ensure families experience a welcoming, supportive environment no matter which program they enroll in.

As we begin this journey, I am filled with gratitude for the staff, families, and community members who made this transition possible. I look forward to a year of growth, connection, and celebration as we continue to chart new paths for students.

Here’s to a strong start and an inspiring year ahead.

One Compass, One Crew, One Mission.

Warmly,
Dr. Kayla Crook
