Lewistown CUSD #97 school board member Jeff Miller has stepped down after 28 years of service for Lewistown Schools. Jeff was appointed to the Board of Education for the Lewistown High School District #341 in the fall of 1995, to fill a vacancy in the board. Shortly after he started on the high school board, consolidation happened.
Jeff was elected to the new Lewistown CUSD #97 Board of Education in 1997, after the consolidation vote passed. He has remained on the Lewistown CUSD #97 Board of Education since that first election
Jeff was the President of the Board for two terms, and also served in other officer roles. Over the years Jeff was a part of many improvements to the district facilities and programs
Some of the highlights/milestones of his 28 years on the school board include:
Improvements to Central school to accommodate students from other districts after the consolidation in 1997
Construction of Central Elementary and the moving of the primary grades from McNally School
Moving of 7th and 8th grade from Central school to the high school building
Countless construction projects including new roofs at the high school and Central, and new HVAC systems at the high school and Central
The beginning of the sports co-op with Cuba and Valley
Thank you for your service and almost 3 decades of dedication and work to improve the schools of Lewistown.
