The Nebraska State Association of Secondary School Principals has selected Travis Miller as the 2009 New Principal of the Year. This award is presented annually to a Principal who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in their school, their region and at the state level. The winner will have demonstrated their enthusiasm for the Principalship by support from students, parents, teachers and peers.   Mr. Miller was presented his award at the Secondary Principal’s State Conference in Lincoln on February 11th.

Mr. Miller has been the Principal at Banner County since 2007. During his tenure at Banner County, Travis has led his staff through professional development by following the application process for accreditation through the NCA/AdvancED organization. He also serves as a NCA/AdvancED Field Consultant nationally. In addition, Mr. Miller serves on the Standards Advisory Committee for the Nebraska Department of Education and has served on several NCA Quality Assurance Reviews of other school districts. Travis has been selected for, and has participated in, numerous leadership conferences and cohort groups, including the University of Nebraska –Lincoln Western Assessment Cohort and the McRel Balanced Leadership Training. 

Ms. Lana Sides, Banner County Schools Superintendent, praised Mr. Miller, noting, “Mr. Miller supports the efforts made by students, staff and community members toward giving students the most positive educational experience possible. He is truly one of the most outstanding principals that I have had the privilege to work with in my twenty-five years of educational work.”   Kari M. Gifford, Banner County teacher and Activities Director, states, “Travis has created an atmosphere that encourages and motivates staff to perform at a high level. His willingness to participate and work collaboratively in all levels of education, from assessment to transportation, demonstrates his abilities as an outstanding educational leader.” Parent Norma Boston writes, “Mr. Miller is a positive, approachable individual who eagerly interacts with students and staff throughout the day. He consistently displays a willingness to listen and whether his is listening to a new idea, fielding a question, or facilitating a solution to a problem, Mr. Miller is respectful and positively engaged.”
