Milton Hershey School (MHS) is a top-notch home and school where 2,100 pre-K through 12th grade students from disadvantaged backgrounds are provided with an extraordinary cost-free career focused education. This is made possible by the generosity of Milton and Catherine Hershey, who established the school in 1909 and ensured it was fully endowed.
