Hello! My name is Blake Hill. I am excited for my third year at Miller Grove. This is my 10th year in education (8 have been spent here in Northeast Texas). I will be teaching 7th grade Texas History and 8th grade Social Studies. I am the Head Girls Basketball and Head Boys Baseball Coach, and will be assisting with Cross Country and Track.
I enjoy being outdoors, attending concerts, pizza/wings, the Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, and am a huge Jimmie Johnson (48) fan.
