In their regular monthly meeting Tuesday, the Haleyville Board of Education accepted the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Alan Miller. Dr. Miller who will be leaving at the end of this school year after 5 years as superintendent. Board President Kris Burleson said Dr. Miller has done a great job and the Board will be starting a search for a replacement soon.

Dr. Miller stated “It’s been an absolute pleasure to serve as the superintendent of Haleyville City Schools and I look forward to continuing to work with our wonderful faculty and staff as we finish out this school year, but it’s the right time for me and my family to pursue other opportunities. With two sons soon to begin college, it’s perhaps the right time to look at possibly relocating closer to where they will attend school. Haleyville is a wonderful community, and I’s sure Haleyville City Schools will continue to excel in the future.”
