💙💛 School Board Member Spotlight | Gary Miller 💛💙
Meet Gary Miller, a longtime and dedicated member of the Scott City School Board. Gary first ran for the board in April 2009 and has proudly served ever since, driven by a desire to ensure the district has the tools and support needed to teach, inspire, and promote the best for our students.
Gary was inspired to serve because he wanted to help make decisions that would positively impact not only students, but the entire school system and community. He believes that the choices made at the board level—both big and small—can truly make a difference in students’ lives long after they leave the classroom.
A graduate of Scott City Schools, Gary describes his time in the district as some of the best years of his life. After retiring and moving back to the community, it was important to him that both of his children attend the same wonderful school system that meant so much to him.
What makes the district special to Gary is the way the administration, teachers, and staff stay focused on student success. He takes great pride in the positive culture across the district, noting that staff work well together, care deeply about their roles, and truly enjoy being part of the Scott City school family.
While many accomplishments stand out during his years of service, two moments are especially meaningful to Gary. One was advocating for a resource officer, prioritizing student safety even during challenging conversations. Another was helping make possible the concession stand and restroom facilities near the athletic fields—a project that took time, teamwork, and persistence, but ultimately proved what the district and community could accomplish together.
Gary is grateful for the incredible faculty, staff, students, volunteers, and community members who continuously support the district and keep it focused on what matters most. When it comes to school events, he enjoys attending as many as he can—especially watching his grandchildren play baseball, a favorite pastime of his as a proud huge Cardinals fan.
The advice Gary would give to students is heartfelt: enjoy every moment, hour, and day of your journey—it goes by fast. Trust your heart, never quit, never surrender, and always reach for your goals.
Gary believes public education plays a vital role in creating opportunity, strengthening communities, and building lifelong connections. Beyond academics, schools help reduce inequality, build camaraderie, and create friendships and memories that last forever.
