Jupiter Elementary
School clerk awarded Employee of
the Year
Nita Miller,
Attendance Clerk at Jupiter Elementary School has
been named Brevard
Public School’s Employee of the Year for 2006.
Awarded by Superintendent Dr. Richard A.
DiPatri at a ceremony held at the Cocoa Beach Hilton in December,
Miller was
“overwhelmed” by the news, yet thrilled to join the official ranks of
Brevard’s
finest.
Finalists
were nominated by their school or department. A
selection committee reviewed the written nominations and chose those
they
believed contributed most significantly to improvements at their school
sites
or within the district.
Miller has worked for the district for 15 years, 10 of which have
been with Jupiter
Elementary School.
In
addition to her role as attendance clerk, Miller is a campus
interpreter for
the hearing impaired. Her love of computers led her to become the Tech
Assistant for the computer lab where she gained experience setting up
computer
classrooms, tutored students, and assisted with wiring the school
building’s
computers. Miller also served as a network coordinator responsible for
the
entire computer and audio-visual needs of the school and inventory. She
has
built a positive rapport with students and their families by tutoring
and
mentoring the children in reading. “Throughout her tenure at Jupiter
Mrs.
Miller’s faithful service has endeared her to the faculty staff and
students.
She is indeed an asset to the Jupiter community and embodies our motto:
‘Soaring Together to Higher
Heights in
Student
Achievement,’” says Cynthia Harris, Principal of Jupiter Elementary
School.
Nita is a
volunteer who has worked behind the scenes at Florida State FPS
Competition for
the last 10 years. She has helped in any
capacity asked of her and is a vital part of the evaluation’s process
during
State competition. We congratulate her
on this well deserved honor and hope that she stays with us at State
for many
more years to come. |
