In a letter addressed to the school community, Miller said: “As a lifelong resident and proud SCCS graduate, this role isn’t just a job for me – it’s a sincere commitment to a community that has shaped who I am.”
Miller grew up on Babcock Street and still lives near the village. After graduating from Silver Creek, Miller pursued higher education locally at SUNY Fredonia with my bachelor’s degree in English and School Psychology. He later earned a Master’s degree in Sports Administration from Canisius College. Miller has worked for M&T Bank for the past eight years.
“We are very excited to have him. He will be an excellent addition to the Silver Creek family.” Ralston said.
