Miller was also a coach in the district who returned home to the area more than 10 years ago to "dedicate herself to teaching in her community," according to the Facebook post. 

"As both a teacher and a coach, she made a profound impact, forming deep connections with students, especially at Lebanon Junior High School," the Facebook post said.  

Lebanon City Schools said counseling is available to anyone in need of support. In-person counseling is available at Lebanon High School's Media Center on Tuesday and Wednesday from noon to 2 p.m. Also, people in Warren, Butler, and Clinton counties can contact Mobile Response and Stabilization Services at 513-881-7180 to speak to a trained professional. 

"We encourage our community to lean on one another and extend extra grace, patience, and compassion in the days ahead. If your child or family needs support, please do not hesitate to reach out," the district said. 

The district went on to ask the community to keep Miller's family, friends, colleagues and students in their thoughts during this "tragic time."
