Miller Memo

Miller Career & Technology Center students and parents,

The Spring semester is definitely already a busy one, filled with Miller recruiting activities, district course selection, SkillsUSA and ProStart competitions, and so on. Please read below for a few updates and reminders and let us know if you have any questions.

Kelley Kirila

Principal, MCTC

Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Beltran, and Staff Member of the Year, Mrs. Trevino! We are so thankful for all they do for our campus and we are proud of their accomplishments.

If you are currently a junior and plan to return to MCTC next year, please do not forget that you will need to submit a Miller course request, separate from the Schoolinks course selection process. The Miller course request window opened Monday, January 27th and will close on Friday, February 28th at midnight. Students can access the course request by searching for the "Miller" tile in MyKaty Cloud or clicking on the "Course Request" button on our programs page on the MCTC website.

A member of the Admin Team and Ms. Perez (Admissions Specialist) will be hosting mini-presentations next week to provide students with Miller course information and time for Q and A.

Please see the flyer below regarding new, virtual scheduling options available to 12th grade students for the 2025-2026 school year. A campus administrator will further discuss some of these options and how they coincide with Miller scheduling early next week during presentations.

Our Culinary team is excited to reopen Old Town Bistro every Wednesday and Thursday of this month (February) from 7:30 - 10:30 AM and again from 12:30 - 1:30 PM. We would love to have you come dine with us! Please click on the link below to preview the menu.

At the end of January, we were able to surprise our fifth round of EPIC² student award winners. These students were nominated by their teachers for displaying our core values (Empowerment, Professionalism, Integrity, Commitment, and Curiosity) and serving as role models for their peers. Congratulations, we are so proud of each of you!

At the end of January we were also able to surprise our Marvelous Miller staff award winners. This award goes to employees who go above and beyond the call of duty and contribute positively to our school community. Thank you for all you do for our students and staff!

This year, we have developed a MCTC EPIC² Student Canvas course, where we will share information with students and parent observers regarding whole-campus procedures, activities, and initiatives. This is just one other source of communication with our community. All students have already been added to the course and therefore, parents have observer access.

Students have 3 options to travel to and from Miller Career & Technology Center:

1. Students may take District-provided bus transportation (Specific route information below.)
2. Students may drive themselves to and from Miller (See Parking Permit Information below.)
3. Students may be dropped off and picked up (see locations below).

All students who drive a vehicle to Miller Career & Technology Center (MCTC) must display a MCTC permit on the front lower right (interior passenger side) window. Payment and application for a permit is required in Pay 'N Go BEFORE driving to MCTC. Please note: Students who drive a vehicle without a permit will be fined.

Instructions:

1. Pay the $10.00 permit fee through Pay 'N Go. Write down your confirmation number.
2. Complete the 24-25 Parking Permit Request form (form requires uploading a copy of student's valid Texas Driver License, proof of current insurance for the vehicle, and Pay 'N Go confirmation #).
