🌟 CTE Month Teacher Spotlight: Ms. Miller – Health Science 🌟
We’re excited to highlight our new Health Science teacher, Ms. Miller, who brings both experience and enthusiasm to our CTE program. She holds a master’s degree in nursing and has been a nurse since 2017. In 2025, she stepped into education to help prepare students for meaningful careers in healthcare.
Before becoming a teacher, Ms. Miller worked as a bedside nurse in acute care, home hospice, and PreOp/PACU. Her real-world experience gives students an authentic look into the many paths available in the healthcare field.
She was inspired to transition into teaching after seeing the growing need for healthcare workers. She loves that students in her program can earn their CNA certification and join the workforce right after graduation. Students who earn their CNA credentials can choose to build a meaningful career as a CNA or further their education in healthcare while using their CNA position to gain experience and earn income throughout college.
Her students enjoy hands-on learning, especially practicing skills and participating in clinicals at the nursing home—a favorite among seniors.
Ms. Miller wishes more students realized how valuable this opportunity is. Graduating high school with the ability to step directly into a well-paying career is something truly special.
We’re proud to have Ms. Miller as part of our CTE family. Happy CTE Month! 💙
