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.
