Ms. Miller back in her college days on the London Bridge (it wasn’t falling down).
Just in case you came here wondering who I am (either because you’ll be in my class or your child will be in my class), I’ll give you some basic facts. This is my third year at Haynes Academy and I love it so, so much. The kids are incredible! Currently I’m teaching English III, IV, and Publications and am the overseer of several clubs. My home town is in Illinois and I’m not sure how I ended up here, but I adore living so close to NOLA, it’s the best. I graduated from Hanover College in 2013 with my BA (English major and minors in History and Renaissance/Medieval Studies); The University of Toledo in 2015 with my MA in English Lit. At home I have two cats, a dog, a fish, and I love eating and traveling (who doesn’t, am I right?). If you ever need anything, please reach out to me via call, Remind message, email or make an appointment to come see me (for parents only – students can drop in anytime I’m not teaching).
