The Galway Central School District Board of Education will appoint Michael Miller as its new Jr./Sr. High School principal at its board meeting on Thursday, Feb. 16.
“We are pleased to announce that after a rigorous and highly collaborative hiring process, Mr. Michael Miller has officially accepted the position as our new Jr./Sr. High School Principal,” said Galway Central School District Superintendent Shannon Shine. “We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the hiring process and especially Mrs. Brita Donovan for serving as interim principal and ensuring a smooth transition for students and parents.”
Miller currently teaches social studies at Saratoga Springs High School, where he has been employed for 18 years. He has been the student council advisor for 16 years, chaperone coordinator for all athletics, and graduation marshall. He also serves as president of the Saratoga Springs Teachers Association.
“I graduated from a small high school in Endwell, NY, and I always wanted to be a principal at a smaller junior/senior high school where I can connect with the students,” said Miller, whose hobbies include planning and attending extracurricular activities at school. “I am looking forward to being active within the Galway community.”
Miller earned his bachelor’s degree in history education from LeMoyne College and his master’s degree in curriculum from the University at Albany. He earned his administrator certification from SUNY Plattsburgh.
Miller and his wife, Meghan, live in Ballston Spa with their two children, Catherine (10) and Andrew (7). He is a history buff who also follows baseball and the Yankees.
Miller’s tentative first day at Galway Jr./Sr. High School will be Friday, March 17.
