Robin Miller began teaching physical education at Columbus Academy and serving as the head varsity football coach in 2015. The football program has been on the rise, with nine playoff appearances in 11 years and the roster (grades 5-12) over doubling in size since he was hired. The Vikings won a share of three league titles (2017, 2020 and 2025), all years in which he was also named League Coach of the Year. He was also named the Central District Football Coaches Association winner of the Sportsmanship, Ethics and Integrity award in 2025. In the offseason, Robin serves as an assistant coach for our varsity ice hockey team and a volunteer strength and conditioning coach. He was also previously the committee chair for the ISACS chapter on athletics, and is a member of the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association (OHFCA) and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). Prior to coming to Academy, Robin served as the Defensive Coordinator and a high school P.E. teacher at Licking Valley High School. He obtained a B.A. in Physical Education from Denison University, where he was a Provost and Alumni Scholar, before earning his M.S. in Recreation and Sports sciences from Ohio University in 2012. Robin is the proud father of two young Vikings, Paige '32 and Ace '34.
