Akron Public Schools’ open enrollment is now open and runs through December 15. Miller South will be accepting students entering 4th and 6th grade for the 2026/2027 school year. Please see and share our enrollment website with families interested in attending Miller South. 8th-grade students who are interested in attending a high school that is not their home high school, including Akron Early College and STEM High School, must open-enroll. 8th-grade families, be on the lookout for a newsletter from Ms. Castle with high school information. APS High School open house dates and times are listed in the email.
Our Theater Department is collecting new socks for the month of October. These donations go directly to APS students who are experiencing housing instability and may be housed in shelters. Our goal is to collect 1000 pairs of socks. Students may bring socks to donate to morning meeting at any time during October. Socktober
