About Director, Information Security

  Director, Information Security - ( 24000010 )

  Description

  Milton Hershey School (MHS) plays a special role in the lives of our students—far different from that of any other pre-K through 12th-grade school in the world. When chocolatier Milton S. Hershey and his wife, Catherine, founded the school in 1909, they did so with the intention of giving children with less more—more hands-on learning, more access to daily needs, and more opportunities to enrich their lives. More than a century later, the school has graduated almost 12,000 students.

  MHS is one of the world’s best private schools, where students from qualifying families looking for greater opportunity can explore their individual interests to the fullest—with all costs covered.
