Hello, Harrison High!
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. I am excited to begin this year as the new principal at Harrison! I grew up in North Cobb and attended Baker Elementary, JJ Daniel Middle, and North Cobb High School. My interactions with Harrison began in high school when it was considered the new school across town. I have participated in many fantastic athletic events as both an athlete and coach against this fine school. Harrison is truly a special community to be a part of due to its rich traditions and unwavering support from the community. I am honored to continue this legacy as Harrison’s principal and will strive to uphold the traditions that have been built into the fabric of our culture. Our vision of “Helping Our Youth Achieve Success,” means that our staff will be committed to strengthening the skills our students need for life after high school. Since its beginning in 1991, the Harrison community has thrived because of the dedication of its motivated students, talented faculty, supportive stakeholders, and exceptional extra-curricular programs. As principal, I can assure you that I will continue to foster these traditions as we begin Harrison’s 33rd year of excellence. I am excited for the journey ahead and to work with our stakeholders to build on our past successes. I am excited to work alongside each of you to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
I began my teaching career at Wheeler High School as a special education teacher before moving to the physical education department where I served as department chair. During my tenure at Wheeler, I also coached a variety of sports, including being the head softball and head baseball coaches. After nine years at Wheeler, I moved into administration at Walton High School and Kell High School. I served as assistant principal for one year at Harrison before named principal in the spring of 2024. I am married with three children: Ellie, Grace, and Bennett. You will see us out and about at many Harrison events as my oldest daughter will be a freshman this school year.
Sincerely,
Jeff Milton
Principal
