About Us

Our Mission
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 live fulfilling and productive lives.
Sacred Values
Milton Hershey valued loyalty, honesty, respect, and integrity. He expected both students and employees to uphold these values. Even the first school viewbook, dating back to 1912, emphasizes character.
This commitment still stands today in the form of our MHS Sacred Values. For each of the four Sacred Values, MHS expects its community to demonstrate essential behaviors, known as our “I” statements – Commitment to Mission, Integrity, Positive Spirit, and Mutual Respect.
