Hello! My name is Shannon Miller, and I am excited to be your teacher this year. I live in Simpsonville with my husband, Brad. We have three children: Callie, Mariana, and Bryce, and we are incredibly proud of each of them. Callie is a graduate of Clemson University. Mariana earned her graduate degree from Kennesaw State University and now lives in Florida, where she works in prosthetics and orthotics. Bryce graduated from the University of South Carolina and works in finance in New Orleans. In March 2026, we were thrilled to welcome Bryce’s wife, Avery, into our family.

Brad and I also share our home with two beloved dogs, a Pomeranian named Nacho and a Yorkie named Sadie. We also enjoy spoiling our two “grandfur babies,” Toast and Henley. Family is such an important part of my life, and I love spending time with all of them.

I graduated from Clemson University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and later earned a Master of Arts in Special Education from Furman University. I began my teaching career as a resource teacher at Simpsonville Elementary School in 1993. After two wonderful years there, I taught first grade at Mauldin Elementary School for five years. During that time, I was honored to be named Distinguished Reading Teacher of the Year in 1999 and Teacher of the Year in 2000.

After taking four years off to stay home with my daughter, I returned to Simpsonville Elementary School in 2004, where I taught second grade for fifteen years. In 2013, I received the WYFF Golden Apple Award, an honor I will always treasure. This year, I am excited to work with small groups of elementary students in reading and math while continuing to do what I love most—helping children embrace learning, achieve their personal best, and grow academically, socially, and emotionally. After twenty-nine years in education, I still feel grateful every day to be part of the amazing community at Simpsonville Elementary School, where we work together to “seal” the future!
