Cherokee Administrator Named Principal Of The Year

CANTON, GA — Cherokee High School Principal Todd Miller has been named the 2018 Principal of the Year by the Georgia Forensics Coaches Association. This award honors an administrator each year selected from school and district leaders statewide to recognize his or her commitment to speech and debate in Georgia’s schools.

Now in its third year, the awards program has previously honored a superintendent of schools and a high school principal. The Cherokee High School speech and debate team is coached by English teacher Jamie Wills (For more news like this, find your local Patch here.

“Principal Miller strongly supports offering students a wide variety of opportunities from challenging academics to career training to extra-curricular opportunities, and this award recognizes that commitment,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian Hightower said. “Speech and debate programs provide our students with critical thinking and public speaking skills that will help them succeed in college, careers and throughout their lives, and we’re so proud to see the school and Principal Miller earn this statewide recognition.”

Miller will be recognized by the Cherokee County School Board and Dr. Hightower at the board's April 19 meeting.
