Milton Hershey School^® Holding Family Event for Prospective Students

            Milton Hershey School^® (MHS) is hosting a Family Event next week in Front Royal. Family Events are informal get-togethers that offer everyone – especially children – a chance to learn more about Milton Hershey School.

            Following a free meal and brief presentation, attendees will have time to ask questions and talk with MHS staff, students, parents, and alumni.

           No registration is required to attend a Family Event. For more information, please call 800-322-3248.

           To be considered for enrollment, a child must come from a family of low income, be from the ages of 4-15 years old, be free of serious emotional and behavioral problems that disrupt life in the classroom or home, and be born in the United States. The School examines need, motivation, and personal character in making its final selections. Enrollment is not guaranteed and prospective students must demonstrate the capability to benefit from the programs the School offers. Children are accepted year-round through a rolling admissions process.
