(Manning) Trevor Miller, shared superintendent at Exira-EHK and IKM-Manning , was a nominee for the 2021-22 Iowa Superintendent of the Year award sponsored by the School Administrators of Iowa.
“SAI is pleased to recognize school system leaders who are dedicated to creating meaningful change for the students they serve and their communities,” said Roark Horn, the association’s executive director.
IKM-Manning has recently partnered with Puck Inc. and Des Moines Area Community College to offer students a career-ready opportunity in welding. The district is looking to expand career and Future Ready opportunities for students to prepare them to be successful after high school. The IKM-Manning district has also been awarded multiple STEM BEST grants and has a student run business that has continued to expand. Exira-EHK continues to offer opportunities through area community colleges looking at partnering with other districts for a Career Academy.
Miller is thankful for the nomination:
“Both the IKM-Manning and Exira-EHK staffs are amazing and work extremely hard to provide the best education possible for our students. The dedication they have shown over the past few years is second-to-none and should be acknowledged,” said Mr. Miller.
He says it is not just about him:
Miller received his undergraduate degree from Buena Vista University, and a master’s degree along with a Superintendent Certificate from Iowa State University. He has been a business/computer teacher, an elementary principal, secondary principal, school business official, and currently shared superintendent between Exira-EHK and IKM-Manning for the past five years.
Nominated for the award by his peers, Miller will be recognized by the association, along with Cedar Rapids Superintendent Noreen Bush who was recently selected as the recipient.
