From Millard

After living in Millard for over 40 years, I know the impact a thriving school district has on the broader community. Growing up sons of a small business owner, my brothers (Matt & Ryan) and I learned the values of hard work, community support, and a continued desire to learn – values that embody what it means to be From Millard. As graduates from Millard South High School, my wife Tracy and I were confidently prepared to step into life after the teenage years. Having the privilege of working as a teacher/athletic trainer in Millard gave me a behind-the-scenes appreciation for what it takes to make a worthwhile investment in the lives of all kinds of students.

Now, I am a father of five outstanding children who are enrolled and flourishing within Millard Public Schools. I know what it means to be primarily responsible for my children’s education while taking advantage of the educational options that Millard has to offer. Working as a nonprofit leader in our city has given me a strong connection to leaders and public servants throughout Omaha. And serving as an Elementary School PTO President and on the Superintendent Parent Advisory Committee has shown me the importance of being meaningfully engaged as a Millard citizen. I’m proud to say that I’m From Millard. 

For Millard

Millard Public Schools are a tremendous asset to the entire community. The Millard Public School system strives for each student to exemplify the knowledge, skills, and character necessary for personal excellence and responsible citizenship through an innovative, world-class educational community that challenges and empowers all students. Millard has truly become a district of choice with many different paths for students to achieve their personal academic goals.

As a world-class educational community, Millard is a destination district. Every year, students, teachers, staff, and administrators find their home in one of our 35 excellent schools. A community asset this important requires stewardship. The type of stewardship that comes from men and women of integrity who are courageous enough to lead and humble enough to listen. Innovative leaders who value encouraging vocational/trade education in addition to college prep readiness. Sober-minded leaders who will not be easily influenced by the latest cultural ideologies. Servant leaders who will champion common-sense Midwestern values. This is why I am For Millard.
