Dr. Miller was born and raised in Tucson. In 1984 she moved to Scottsdale where she attended Chaparral High School. She and her amazing husband of 35 years continue to live in Scottsdale. The Millers have four wonderful children, three of whom are Valley graduates and three grandchildren. When she is not working hard at Valley, Lisa loves to run, cook, and read. She spends much of her free time with her family in either Rocky Point or Pinetop.

Dr. Miller believes education begins with the heart and thus emphasizes the development of a solid Christian worldview with which to evaluate all material presented to an individual whether it is in school or out. She knows her students will need a firm foundation as they mature both physically and spiritually.
