Grimsley High School

Miller’s innovative teaching idea, “Cultural Diversity/Health Care,” focuses on addressing cultural diversity in the health care industry workforce through education and community awareness. In a creative attempt to tackle gender diversity and pay gap issues, Miller and her students will create a three-phased program to recruit more diverse talent into the school’s Health Science Program and provide basic health care screenings to individuals within the local community. Notably, the Voya grant will be used to purchase the necessary materials to support the project, such as a printer, paper supplies as well as a video camera to assist with the video production to help raise awareness. Through the project, Miller’s students will become more college and career ready by building the next generation of young Certified Nursing Assistants.
