Hello Tarpon Middle School Families,

My name is Matthew Miller, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead Tarpon Springs Middle School as we continue to pursue high levels of engagement and achievement for all of our students.

Originally from Michigan, I graduated from Oakland University in 2006 and promptly moved to Florida drawn by the sun, the sand, and a passion for education. I spent 17 years at Safety Harbor Middle School as both a teacher and an Assistant Principal before transitioning to Pinellas Park Middle School in the summer of 2023. In January 2025, I proudly accepted the position of Principal at Tarpon Springs Middle School and could not be more thrilled to serve the Tarpon Springs community.

On a personal note, my wife and I are the proud parents of five children who keep us busy year-round with a variety of sports and activities. In our downtime, we enjoy family trips to Disney, movie nights, board games at the kitchen table, building Legos, and taking our dogs to the local park. My family brings me great joy, and I am grateful for their unwavering support as I dedicate myself to the students, families, and staff of Tarpon Springs Middle School.

As principal, I firmly believe that our students are developing young adults who deserve both academic challenge and personal support. That means nurturing them not only through rigorous academics, but also through meaningful connections, engaging electives, extracurricular activities, and strong relationships with staff and peers. Every student at Tarpon Springs Middle brings something special to our campus each day, and it is our responsibility to recognize, support, and grow that potential.

Together, we will continue building on our tradition of excellence in the classroom and beyond.
