Grace Miller Elementary School is a K - 5 school. It is located in Fauquier County, Virginia, between metropolitan Washington, D. C. and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have a school population of approximately 480 students and a dedicated staff of fifty-five professionals.They have a comprehensive curriculum that stresses excellence in education. The school was opened in 1990 in honor of Mrs. Grace Clark Miller who was a Fauquier County Teacher for 40 years and sold her property on which the school is located to the Fauquier County School Board.

Opened in 1990, Grace Miller Elementary School was named in honor of Mrs. Grace Clark Miller, a teacher for 40 years in Fauquier and neighboring counties. Mrs. Miller sold the property where her namesake school is located, which was part of the family farm, to the Fauquier County School Board. When Mrs. Miller started teaching public school in Fauquier County in 1922, she earned $85 a month and got to her Bealeton classroom by horse and buggy. Many of her students were the children of dairy farmers and would come to school after having been up for hours milking the cows and doing farm chores. If they were tired, Mrs. Miller would let them sleep; after an hour, however, it was time to learn.
