The Montgomery Academy family is pleased to announce that
Ross Miller has been named the new president of Montgomery
Academy Board of Trustees.
Mr. Miller has served on the Board of Trustees for the past five
years as a board member, and has previously held the positions
of Board Secretary, Chairman of the Marketing Committee, and
member of both the Compliance Committee and Strategic
Planning Committee.
Mr. Miller, a resident of Bernardsville, is the Director of the
FLEXcon Corporation as well as Director of the New Jersey Chapter of the National Association of Corporate
Directors. He holds a Master’s Degree in International Management from the Thunderbird School of Global
Management.
Beyond his impressive experience in international management, Mr. Miller brings an extensive background in
multicultural understanding and sensitivity. Mr. Miller sees a strong parallel in multicultural awareness and
understanding the different aspects of the needs of special education students.
Mr. Miller believes that Montgomery Academy’s success is built upon understanding the individual needs of
their students. He would assert that all special education programs should be highly individualized. “A special
education program is built upon an IEP, and that IEP is specific to the student,” Mr. Miller
explained. “Understanding the differences between the many different students’ needs is no different than
understanding the different aspects of creating an international team of business people. We can identify and
then celebrate our differences while also recognizing our similarities. By doing so, we then see the best
possible outcomes of our collective efforts.”
Mr. Miller is very proud of the successful history of Montgomery Academy. He is especially proud of their
teamwork and efforts in moving and establishing the facilities in Basking Ridge. As the school continues to
grow, the Board understands the need to constantly be planning for the future needs and trends of their
special needs population. One of the areas he is very interested in is exploring the need for post-high school
programming for their graduates.
We are honored to have such a dedicated professional on our team. We look forward to our continued
success and growth with Mr. Miller as our Board of Trustees President.

Montgomery Academy’s Make it Real program helps special needs adults, ages 18 through 21, transition from high school into work and post-secondary education. Students in the program visit the Community FoodBank of New Jersey every month to volunteer.
