ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week is different from anything we have done. In this episode of “The Charter School Connection” podcast, Shawn sits down and talks with a student, Miller Millea, at East Mountain High School in New Mexico. Miller has been around charter schools his whole life because his mom is a teacher at East Mountain but did not attend a charter school until high school. Miller is a senior and part of many different activities at East Mountain.
Miller and Shawn talk about what challenges East Mountain faces being in a rural area. They also discuss some of the positives with the area as well. The bulk of the episode is discussing student advocacy. East Mountain opened in 2000 and one of the classes was called “advisory” - a class dedicated to student advocacy. This class is used for students to share their voices and opinions to help improve the school. Miller and the student advocacy board have spent a lot of time going to board meetings and meeting with legislators to help support charter schools and charter school growth.
Miller also shares his future dreams where he intends to continue to focus on charter school success. By getting a degree in public policy education or political science - so he can continue to help charter schools get the community support they deserve.
