Mrs. Miller, our ELA teacher on Team 7 Red, has been teaching for 21 years. In her time off, she loves watching football, spending time with friends & family, and Cooking & Baking. Milk Duds, Pizza, and Twizzlers are some of her favorites. Something that you may not know about Mrs. Miller, is that she played volleyball in college and she is a grandma! According to Mrs. Miller the best thing about teaching is getting to see all the different student personalities and watching them change academically and personally throughout 7th grade.
