Carolyn Miller - Principal Miller is a native Chicagoan. She attended Charles P. Caldwell Elementary School. She graduated from Kenwood Academy High School over two decades ago. In the course of becoming an educator, following in her mother and grandmother’s footsteps as public school administrators, she found a program for aspiring school leaders called New Leaders for New Schools; which helped her land a Principal internship at Kenwood Academy. She worked there for a year from 2003-2004, while earning her second masters degree in Administration and Supervision from National Louis University. Prior to returning to Chicago to lead in high schools, Ms. Miller lived and worked in Los Angeles, California after obtaining her Bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University and a Masters degree from Pepperdine University. In 2005, Principal Miller was appointed founding leader of the DeVry Advantage High School, a unique and innovative high school – university partnership between CPS and DeVry University. The school currently has a 100% graduation rate for the fourth consecutive year. The ACT average consistently exceeds 19, with a small study body of 88-120 mature and well-rounded students. DeVry has been associated with Area 19 since its inception, but truly functions best as an autonomously managed performance school. Principal Miller recently completed a doctoral program in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University this summer.
