The board of trustees voted unanimously to appoint the current associate director, Stuart Miller, as the board's new top administrator. The former Georgetown District High School principal assumes the role Oct. 1, replacing David Euale, who announced his retirement this past February. Euale had served as the Halton public board's education director since September 2010. In April, the 11 trustees hired an execu- tive search firm to initiate an extensive search for a new director. The process resulted in trustees interviewing a number of candidates before naming Miller as the board's new direc- tor. Miller's teaching career has been predomi- nantly Halton-based, with the exception of a year spent in Scotland and a year teaching in Malawi in east Africa. His teaching responsibilities included science, biology and mathematics. He also coached hockey and soccer, co-ordinated science fairs, and ini- tiated and organized social justice confer- ences for students. In 2009, Miller was appointed a superin- tendent of education. He was elevated to as- sociate director, No. 2 in command at the board, in 2014. Trustees say Miller has been instrumental in creating the new Welcome Centre for stu- dents new to Canada and implementing an expansion of the international student pro- gram within the board. "Positive and supportive relationships with students, staff and the community are essen- tial for the success of our students, and those attributes are evident in Halton," said Miller. HDSB Chair Kelly Amos said, "(Miller's) passion and commitment to student achieve- ment and his vision for the HDSB will ensure Halton will remain committed to every student and remain a leader in the province."
