Description
The New Haven Public Schools 2024 Teacher of the Year and the 2025 Connecticut Teacher of the Year, Julia Miller taps a wellspring of inspiration for her work—in her students, colleagues, and community—and has deep New Haven pride, especially in its public schools.
A proud Elm City native, teacher, parent, and alumna, she emphasizes that student learning, growth, and mastery of skills and content are what’s important, not random numbers. As an education and civics teacher, student council advisor, and restorative-justice instructor at Metropolitan Business Academy in New Haven, Miller imparts to her students a deep understanding of the power of their voices to make change. “I want my students to be informed so that they can be empowered to make the changes they want to see in society,” she says. “I try to help them learn how to analyze sources, think critically, and make applications to their lives and the world around them."
Miller will be joined by Inner City News Editor and WNNH host, Babz Rawls-Ivy, for this special conversation and celebration.
