Miller Olympic Games

Miller Middle Schools’ fundraiser, Miller Games, will be held Monday, March 12th. Our students’ teams will represent different countries and participate in fun, mock Olympic Games in order to raise money for our school. State and local funding do not cover all of the costs necessary for providing our students with a rich and diverse educational experience. Donations received will provide funding for enrichments to curriculum and instruction for various school programs.

Happy New Year

Welcome to 2018! It's hard to believe that our school year is nearly half over already. I hope you all had a restful break, and that our students are ready to gear up for more learning. Please Read More for announcements!

Many Thanks this November! Muchas gracias en Noviembre!

It's hard to believe that we are already into November and a quarter of the way through this school year. Time does fly! The next couple of months will seem to go even faster as we enjoy breaks for Thanksgiving and Winter. --- Es difícil creer que ya estamos en noviembre y una cuarta parte del camino en este año escolar. ¡El tiempo vuela! El próximo par de meses parecerá ir aún más rápido a medida que disfrutemos descansos para Dia de Acción de Gracias e Invierno.

Parking and School Access - Miller Middle School

Dear Miller Middle School Families, Welcome back to a new school year! As you know, the City of Durango made some adjustments to Junction Street, which includes narrowed travel lanes and dedicated bike lanes and widened sidewalks. The City of Durango shared with us that these changes were in response to community feedback about safety and multimodal access along the roadway.

Registration and Enrollment 17/18

Registration windows are fast approaching for the 2017/18 school year. Click here for more information about registration windows for new and existing students.

Miller Shoe Drive Funds Choir Program

Would you ever think that your gently worn, used, and new shoes could help the young musicians of Miller Middle School? Well they can and here's how. Miller Music is participating in a fundraiser where there is nothing to buy or sell, all we need is your support and your gently worn, used, and new shoes. We are looking for community members to help support us by collecting shoes in the next 4 weeks! Start by looking in your family's closets and gather pairs of shoes that you've out grown, are out of style, or out of season. These shoes will help support Miller music as well as micro-entrepreneurs in developing nations like Haiti, Colombia, and Tanzania.
