New IRMS Assist Principal and Athletic Director

Michael Miller will be the new Assistant Principal and Athletic Director for Icicle River Middle School (IRMS) starting in the 2023-2024 school year. He is replacing Dominique Coffin, who is going to Eastmont as Assistant Principal of Clovis Point Elementary School.

Michael Miller is coming from the North Thurston School District in Olympia, where he has served as a middle school assistant principal for the past 19 years. Prior to that, he taught 7th Grade English at Stewart Middle School in the Tacoma Public School system. Michael loves working with middle school students; watching them learn and grow inspires him every day. Cultivating a safe, fun, productive learning environment with dedicated colleagues is his calling, and he is grateful to have the opportunity to do this work with the team at IRMS.

Michael is moving to the area this summer with his wife of 30 years, Margaret. They have two children and three grandchildren. Their family has been visiting the area for many years and love the snow. Michael and Margaret love to travel with their chocolate lab, Bella Mae. They enjoy the outdoors, running their pup, and exploring new spaces. Michael can’t wait to start the school year and meet more staff and students in the Cascade School District.
