Meet our faculty - Ms. Marianela Miller, Spanish

We are excited to share with you a little bit about our newest faculty member, Ms. Marianela Miller.

My name is Marianela Miller, but my friends call me Mari. I was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I came to the United States when I was 17 years old. I graduated from George Washington High School, in Manhattan, New York. I got my B.A. in Spanish Literature from Hunter College, and my Master's in Education and Spanish Literature from Lehman College. I also have forty-five post-graduate credits in education from various colleges and universities of New York.

I've been teaching Spanish and ESL (English as a Second Language) since 1992. It's my passion. I love teaching, and I love young people. The years I have worked as a teacher have given me the opportunity to work with diverse populations from various ethnic, economic and social backgrounds. As a teacher, I have always been dedicated, with the desire to instill in my students the passion to be lifelong learners.

I am very excited to be part of the Research Triangle High School community. Moreover, I am eager to learn more about the flipped teaching program and how I can contribute to the school's overall success. I also feel privileged to be working with Mr. Grunden and his staff. I love his vision for the school and his dedication. I sincerely hope that this new school year will be a success for our students and us as educators.
