In Loving Memory of Mr. Miller....
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Band Director, Mr. Miller, who dedicated over 20 years to Freeport High School and most importantly, Freeport High School students.
Mr. Miller was more than a teacher—he was a mentor, leader, and friend whose passion for music inspired generations of students. An extremely gifted musician, he conducted the band and wrote his own shows and sets, pouring his talent and heart into every note and performance. He built the band, grew the band, and led the band to unwavering, sustained success at competitions and in everything the band was involved in.
Sometimes you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. His passing leaves a huge hole in the heart of our school, one that cannot be filled. As the band continues forward, we encourage our community to support them as they honor his legacy through every performance.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the countless Bulldogs whose lives he touched. His music and legacy will forever echo in the halls of Freeport High School.
