Education Leaders at Miller Middle School


Visiting Miller Middle School on Thursday marked my second visit in two years with school counselor Mark McVey (pictured in center). Mark was again one of my favorites this year with not only his enthusiasm for the association, but also seeing him connect with students! Student after student reached out to Mark and it was obvious what a special connection he has with all those that he works with! Mark lead Sally Hansen (at right) and myself throughout the building; here stopping to meet another great educator in LaVonne Hildahl (at left). LaVonne is a certified media specialist and was described to us as a tireless advocate for students through literacy opportunities. LaVonne will be retiring at the end of this school year. We are grateful for her many years of providing enriching opportunities to challenge students.

Miller Middle School is undergoing remodeling and new construction and will be ready to greet the 2006-2007 school year as a 7th and 8th grade building. Currently Miller serves 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Thanks, Miller Middle School educators for the great challenges you provide all Marshalltown students!
