    Forty-Year Journey: Amber Miller Retires from Austin Montessori School

    Fabiana Shelpuk
    Born and raised in Texas, Amber Miller first came to Austin Montessori School in 1979. Not as a staff member, but as a young mother looking for the right educational environment for her three year-old son. Her decision was rooted in an admiration for what founder Donna Bryant Goertz was building and, as she admits with a smile, in the wholesome snacks she saw being served. She didn’t know it then, but that moment would shape the next four decades of her life. At the time, Austin Montessori was a small, close-knit community with just a handful of classrooms. “It felt like a hidden gem,” Amber recalls.
