The mission of Milton Hershey School remains true to the ideals upon which it was founded more than 90 years ago -- "In keeping with Milton and Catherine Hershey's Deed of Trust, Milton Hershey School nurtures and educates children in social and financial need to lead fulfilling and productive lives." Today, Milton Hershey School is the largest residential pre-K through 12 school in the United States. MHS provides free education, career training, housing, clothing, meals, health care, and counseling to over 1,300 racially and ethnically diverse boys and girls who are in financial and social need. The School plans to increase its enrollment beginning with the 2005-06 academic year.
