The Miller Humanitarian Fund

The Ft. Thomas Education Association established the Harold Miller Humanitarian fund in 1990 to help students in the Ft. Thomas School system that needed financial assistance and to recognize students for their humanitarian efforts in the community. The fund was changed in 1992 to the Harold and Dorothy Miller Humanitarian Fund and in 1995 to its present name. This fund is a living memorial to Harold, Dorothy, and Alice Miller who dedicated more than 100 years to the education of children and service to their community. More than one-half of these years were in service to the Ft. Thomas School System and the city of Ft. Thomas.

Harold, Dorthy, and Alice Miller are now survived by their son, and husband J. Mitchell Miller and their granddaughter and daughter, Sarah Miller-Hair. Mitch is a graduate of Highlands High school and the University of Cincinnati. He is a graduate architect, retired from an engineering and design firm in Cincinnati. Sarah is also a graduate of Highlands High school, Northern Kentucky University with a BFA in photography, and Xavier University with a Masters in Education. Sarah teaches at White’s Tower Elementary in Kenton county.

The committee overseeing this fund was comprised of family members, teachers, and community members. It was committed to serving the students of the Ft. Thomas School System in the spirit of the service of these three family members who gave so much of their life work.
