The 5-time boys basketball champions of Comet Nation have entered a new Galaxy. Dozens walked through the arena for the first time today and learned the building will be named after Coach Raymond A Cooper, who led Mills University Studies High School to state titles in 2017, 2020, 2021, and 2025. Some of those players made a basket with students today.. Here are the top ten pictures from the event. #PCSSDproud #ServeAll

💙 Mills Middle School is proud to celebrate National Bullying Prevention Day! 💙

Today, our students and staff are showing unity by wearing blue — a symbol of peace, support, and kindness. This year’s theme, “Let Kindness Ripple in Blue,” reminds us that every small act of kindness creates a wave that can change our school, our community, and our world. 🌊✨

Together, we stand against bullying and for inclusion, respect, and empathy. Let’s keep the ripple going — one kind act at a time! 💫
