Biography
Born in Tennessee, I've moved throughout my life - living in Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Idaho, and Georgia. Married for 17 years, my husband Clint and I enjoy time with our greatest achievements: Sons Hunter and Gavin. Barks and meows resound through our home, from our cat, Mortette, and dog, Hazzie. On Sabbath, our family attends Calhoun Seventh-day Adventist Church and Georgia Cumberland Academy Church. Afterwards we enjoy nature walks, reading books, and sharing food/ fellowship with friends.

Biography
I love to learn and I want children to love to learn! I am grateful to be part of the educational ministry team that makes Coble Elementary so special!
Pre-K/Kindergarten is a fun hands-on introduction to classroom education. Academic growth happens best in combination with social, emotional, and spiritual growth.
I follow a structured schedule using teaching strategies for collaborative and individual learning, Responsive Classroom techniques for social and emotional growth, and counsel from the Bible and Ellen G. White for spiritual growth to create a consistent solution-focused environment where my ‘yes’ means yes and ‘no’ means no and students are loved into being their best for each other and their Creator!
My husband, Todd, and I enjoy reading, the outdoors, and being with our daughter, Julia, who attends Georgia Cumberland Academy.

Biography
Teaching has always been and will always be a passion of mine. I have taught at Coble for many years and I still get excited about the first day of school. My husband and I have two wonderful children Noah and Emily. We also have three cute and cuddly four legged children, Bear (the cat), Roxy (the 5lb. Chihuahua) and Max ( 5lb. Malchi). I enjoy being with my family, reading, drawing, shopping, anything purple and playing with our animals.
I wish for students to develop a loving and lasting relationship with Jesus. I want them to always see Jesus as their forever friend.
One of my favorite text is Philippians 4:13 which says, "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

Biography
What a blessing it is to work with God's kids! I have been blessed to teach many subjects at Coble that I truly enjoy such as American history, social studies, Bible, language arts, Bel Canto, and outdoor education. I try to make school interesting and fun. I can't express how excited I feel when a student's eyes light up with enthusiasm over a successful learning experience. God always sends us the students He knows need to be at Coble, so each year is unique and special. I find it a true blessing and honor to be part of His team at such a great school.
My husband and I live on a little farm in Villanow, Georgia, with our daughter and our many animals. Our daughter is an oncology nurse, and my husband is a nursing home administrator. Family is very important to me. My interests include reading, singing, hiking, visiting our national parks, road trips, camping, photography, and working on the farm. Being outdoors makes me happy.
I look forward to a great year! Please keep our school in your prayers as we embark on this new year together.
In His Service,
Lisa Miller
