Mrs. Miller Named FCPS 2018 Outstanding New Principal!
Ms. Rodriguez, Ms. Simpson, Ms. Zoccoli-Perez, Ms. Grasso, and Ms. Lott also recognized at FCPS Honors
Congratulations to Principal Amy Miller who was recognized at the annual FCPS Honors event as the FCPS 2018 Outstanding New Principal!
Principal Miller has made a huge impact at Saratoga in a very short time. In two and a half years, she’s boosted parent involvement, brought in peer mediation, and developed a culture where teachers are eager to learn new things. SOL scores are up, discipline referrals are down, and some parents who were considering leaving say they are glad they stuck around. “Mrs. Miller brought our school back to life,” said one mom. Colleagues especially praise her remarkable recall of individual circumstances and academic data. This enables quick intervention, something Mrs. Miller has been known to do herself by personally calling families when a student is struggling.
Congratulations also to the other Saratoga Elementary School staff members recognized at FCPS Honors!
