Chris Miller

Chris grew up with her younger brother and sister in San Francisco — the feral children of local street level superstar musician The Space Lady — and went on to graduate from UNLV with an interdisciplinary degree in Cultural Studies.

After beginning her career as a teacher and athletic coach in southern California, she returned to the Bay Area and joined the crew of the USS Hornet Museum. As Senior Director of Visitor Experience, she supported educational programing aboard the historic aircraft carrier best known for its role in the recovery of the Apollo 11 & 12 astronauts after the first manned lunar landing missions.

Chris was excited to find her home at Park Day School in 2018 — the kind of school her parents, themselves children of the counterculture, would have chosen for her. Chris is honored to lead the school’s fundraising efforts with the Annual Fund, plan events such as the East Bay Mini Maker Faire and the beloved Read-a-Thon, oversee ParentSquare communications, and support our devoted parent volunteers.

Chris enjoys playing volleyball, binge watching both lowbrow and high-concept tv, and she inherited an obsession with the music of the golden age of Motown and ’70s Rock & Roll. She lives in Alameda with her husband, Lance, and is a proud mom to Skyler (26) and Anika (18), and a reluctant caretaker of the family’s obnoxious tuxedo cat, Oreo.
