Milam is asking for gently used children's books for our upcoming Literacy Night. Please drop off your preloved books at the front office, and we'll take care of the rest. Your help is appreciated, Mustang family!

We want to wish our fearless leader, Mrs. Hernandez, a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We hope you have a day full of love and happiness!

Yesterday, we had a very special visitor to our campus. Officer Chewy stopped by to visit our Milam Mustangs! It was PAWsitively PAWesome! #McALLenISD #ALLIN

Thank you Milam PTO for hosting another wonderful Valentine's Dance! Students had a blast dancing their favorite songs and creating special Valentine's cards.
