Congratulations Mikey Milam, the BHS Gem of the Month!

Mikal-Ann "Mikey" Milam is the kind of educator who lifts everyone around her. As a younger teacher shared, she is a constant source of encouragement, always ready with support on the tough days and practical strategies that make a difference. Her willingness to lend a hand and offer steady guidance has made her a trusted colleague and someone others regularly turn to.

Mikey approaches each day with patience, professionalism, and positivity. On top of her work as the Yearbook and English Resource teacher, she also serves as a case manager, SpEd department head, and an active member of the Leader In Me Lighthouse team.

Her leadership with the yearbook has been especially impactful—she has transformed it into something fresh, meaningful, and truly special at Burnet. Mikey’s dedication, creativity, and ability to motivate both students and staff make her an invaluable asset to the campus. She does it all with grace, calm confidence, and, as her colleagues note, makes it look effortless.

We are grateful for everything she brings to Burnet High School. Congratulations to Mikey, our Gem of the Month!
