About Millard Public
Schools Foundation
Our Mission: Guaranteeing Sustainable Success
Millard Public Schools Foundation (MPSF) exists to support the students, families, and staff of Millard Public Schools by securing sustainable resources and providing high-quality programs. We believe that every student deserves a world-class education, and we work as a vital partner to the district to ensure that excellence is never limited by a lack of funding.
How We Support Our Schools

Our Latest Milestone: GreenState Millard Activity Center
Childcare & Summer Enrichment: our Spark Programs
Spark School-Year Program:
A state-certified before-and-after school program operating in all 25 Millard elementary schools. Over 2,000 students participate annually in STEM and recreational activities that support their growth outside the traditional school day.
SparkUP (Summer Program)
An exclusive summer experience designed specifically for incoming 5th and 6th graders. SparkUP bridges the gap between childhood play and mature learning with "The Nest" lounge, technology challenges, off-site field trips to unique community sites, and the popular "Ice Cream Fridays".
Spark Adventure Camps
Week-long, half-day STEAM-based camps open to all Omaha-area families, not just those in the Millard district. With over 20 unique themes—ranging from "Rockin' Robots" and "BrickLAB Architecture" to nature quests at Chalco Hills—these camps culminate in a Friday Camp Showcase where families can see what their children have built and learned.
