Dr. Kadoria Burgess joins J.B. Little Elementary as principal, offering deep expertise in bilingual education, instructional leadership, and school administration.

Ricki Andrews will serve as principal of Miller Elementary, bringing more than two decades of experience and a passion for supporting students and teachers.

Dr. Matthew Varnell steps into the role of Executive Director of Innovative Programs, backed by nearly 30 years of leadership in fine arts, dual language, and campus administration.

We’re excited for the future under their leadership and the impact they’ll make across Arlington ISD!

Miller Elementary is excited to welcome our new principal, Ms. Ricki Andrews, to the Maverick family!

Ms. Andrews joins us with more than 20 years of experience in education, serving as a teacher, instructional coach, reading specialist, campus supervisor, summer learning principal, and assistant principal. Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to helping students succeed, supporting educators, and building strong relationships with families and the community.

Most recently, Ms. Andrews served as Assistant Principal at Wood Elementary, where she championed student achievement, instructional excellence, family engagement, and a positive school culture.

Please join us in giving Ms. Andrews a warm Maverick welcome as she begins this exciting new chapter!

We had an amazing last week of the 2025-2026 school year!

Yesterday was a beautiful celebration of a truly special leader, our principal, Mrs. Robinson. 💙💛

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Mrs. Robinson and the incredible impact she has made through her 29 years of service, leadership, and love for students, staff, and families.

Her dedication to the Miller community has left a lasting mark on so many lives, and we are beyond grateful for the care, heart, and wisdom she poured into our school over the years.

Congratulations on your retirement, Mrs. Robinson! Your Maverick family loves you and wishes you nothing but joy in this next chapter for you and your beautiful family! ✨

Shout out to these amazing 5th Graders who were honored at the AT&T Staium earlier this week!

🤠💙 What an incredible time celebrating our amazing volunteers at the AISD Volunteer Luncheon this past Wednesday!

With a fun western theme and hearts full of gratitude, we had the honor of recognizing some truly dedicated supporters of our Miller family. A huge congratulations to our STAR Volunteer honorees, Sundra Fontana and Monica Ingram, for the countless hours, love, and support they pour into our school community. 🌟

As our 500-hour winners, we also honored Emma Cruz, Tamera Granados, and Jeff White for the difference they make through their time, kindness, and commitment to our students and staff each year.

Miller is stronger because of volunteers like YOU. Thank you for always showing up, stepping in, and helping make our school such a special place for our students and families.

Thank you to all of our amazing PreK families who joined us for the first of our End of Year Award Ceremonies! 💙💛 Mrs. Spracklen, Mrs. Sullivan, & Mrs. Hancock have done phenomenal work with them with a HUGE help from the great Mrs. Kannenberg, Mrs. Alvarez & Mrs. Hall!

We are so proud of our little Mavericks and all they have accomplished this year. To top it all off, our students surprised everyone with a beautiful song to close the ceremony — and there may have been a few happy tears in the room. 🎶✨

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and for celebrating these special moments with us! We can't wait to see you at our next one!
