Marcus Miller
Santa Claus, boys’ soccer coach, wood worker, gardener, solar panel installer, bus driver, and RAGBRAI finisher: all of these are accurate descriptors of the Hillcrest Academy Social Studies teacher, Marcus Miller. As a Wellman Library Board member, he is so well-read that he captained and won first place with the Hillcrest Academy trivia team at a library fundraiser (more than once!). Marcus cultivates the love of learning in his students like he cultivates his beard: with care and a concentrated effort. He sees beauty in the “ground fog of low lying land”, flowers, and a bald eagle he often sees flying over the English River on his drive to work, but he does have the amazing ability to get lost even while using a GPS . . . which he calls “exploring.” Marcus is a ‘76 grad and has been teaching and coaching at his alma mater since 1993. Marcus and his wife Beth live in Wellman, but have kids and grandkids from here to Virginia.
