Educator Honor Roll: Shelman Miller, Columbia High School
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Many teachers across the Tennessee Valley go above and beyond for their students, and we want to recognize them — with our Education Honor Roll!
This week, we want to introduce you to Shelman Miller, a band teacher at Columbia High School.
Those who nominated him say Mr. Miller dedicates so much of his time to his students/musicians whether it be mentoring, teaching, one-on-one lessons, sectionals and career and school counseling.
They say he seeks as many opportunities for his Title 2 school program as possible and that Mr. Miller made sure everyone had as many opportunities as possible.
We visited Mr. Miller at the school and you can watch his story above.
Do you know another teacher who goes above and beyond? Help us give them the spotlight they deserve, by nominating them for the Educator Honor Roll Award. To nominate a teacher you know, click here!

Norman's Neighborhood: Teen aspiring to be a public servant like Officer Norman
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – This week's Norman's Neighborhood, we meet Ashton, a teenager who has grown up in North Little Rock and watched Officer Norman give and give. Each time he saw Officer Norman at either the bus stop or on social media, he was inspired to do the same. Norman's Neighborhood: Uncle Kenny Wayne is jamming to achieve victory over violence Ashton is a 13-year-old who just wrapped up 7th grade. He was also the vice president of his class. 'Ashton has always been a good kid as long as I've known,' Officer Norman said. Officer Norman has known Ashton since he was born. He was even there at the bus stop when Ashton's older sister was his age. Ashton says being inspired by Officer Norman has led him to adopt a giving mentality. Speaking to Norman, Ashton says, 'How you go from neighborhood to neighborhood putting smiles on people's faces, I want to do the same thing.' 'It feels good to me that when you were watching, I was doing the right thing,' Norman replied. To all the difference makers out there, Officer Norman emphasizes that 'it takes being different to make a difference.' 'I mean, different as you have to stand out above everyone else,' he added. Norman's Neighborhood: North Little Rock sisters setting example that you're never too young to impact others But in doing so, make sure you stay true to yourself. 'You are not going to be the next Officer Norman, you are going to be the next Ashton,' Norman said. 'You're 13 now, and your focus is neighborhoods and making people smile,' Officer Norman said. 'Just imagine the future for you!' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
