The School District of Lancaster welcomed two new School Resource Officers (SROs) to our schools: Officer Alan Houck (pictured left) and Officer Alexander Miller (pictured right). Their expertise and dedication will play a crucial role in enhancing the safety and security of our schools and fostering a supportive environment for our students.
Officer Alan Houck will be stationed at Wheatland, where he will support both middle and elementary schools as part of our School Resource Officer-School Safety Officer (SRO-SSO) model. Officer Houck brings a rich background that includes experience as a former teacher, Marine Corps veteran, EMT, and volunteer youth coach. His ACT 235 and NASRO certifications underscore his strong commitment to student safety and his extensive experience in educational settings.
In addition to his primary role at Wheatland, Officer Houck will also provide support to Burrowes, Price, Smith Wade El, and Martin schools. His diverse background and dedication make him a valuable asset to our district’s commitment to creating a secure and supportive learning environment for all students.
Officer Alexander Miller joins us at Lincoln Middle School, bringing with him a wealth of experience from his tenure with the Lancaster Bureau of Police since 2021. Originally from San Diego, California, Officer Miller has a diverse background that includes living in Santiago, Chile, where he became fluent in Spanish. This linguistic skill and his broad cultural experiences will be instrumental in connecting with our diverse student body and their families.
Officer Miller is trained by the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO), equipping him with the knowledge and skills to create a safe and nurturing environment at Lincoln Middle School. Outside of his professional responsibilities, he enjoys outdoor activities and is an avid reader, reflecting his commitment to personal development and well-being.
We welcome Officers Houck and Miller to our school community and look forward to their contributions to the safety and well-being of our students.
