Congratulations, Mr. Miller, you are well deserving!

"Mr. Miller is awesome. He has such a fantastic attitude. He is always smiling and has something kind or funny to say. He starts the day off for so many of our students and staff by greeting everyone as they get out of their cars and enter the building. He started the Robotics club and gives up multiple days after school with each grade to allow more students to participate. He is willing to (and has, I'm sure) help everyone in whatever way he can. He is a wonderfully positive influence for our students, especially the boys. He looks out for all my favorite Miller girls. What a great representative for LMS!"

"He's my man!!! I can honestly say he is passionate about tech and building relationships with his students. He is such an asset to the school and goes above and beyond for any teacher or student. He's truly worthy of the title."

"Mr. Miller goes above and beyond the call of duty for his students! He has established a Robotics Club at LMS that is pushing our students to new heights with STEM activities. He spends two days out of the week after school teaching and guiding his students to excellence! In addition, he assists every student and teacher whenever he is needed. He always greets faculty and staff with a smile and a positive comment to follow! He is a true role model for our students. It is an honor and privilege to have him be a part of our LMS family!"

" I have been a witness to Mr. Miller in action in his robotics club. His students were so excited, attentive, and engaged. There have been a few times when I have introduced something new in the classroom, and his students will say, "Oh we did that in Mr. Miller's classroom." When I see him around the school interacting with other teachers, faculty, and staff he is helping others, having a giving spirit. His humble caring spirit would be great for school morale."

He's a wonderful role model for all of our students, he is so knowledgeable when it comes to technology, he always helps others in any way he can, and he does it all with a smile. He truly makes LMS a better place! I can't think of a more qualified candidate for TOY for LMS! I am beyond blessed to call him my good friend!!"
