In fact, an early experience I had with Harrison is that I was present at the first-ever pep rally with my husband in 1991 to present the newly formed staff and student body their initial mascot: an English bulldog raised by my family! I am honored to carry on the legacy of excellence as Harrison’s principal and will always remember that Harrison built a tradition from the ground up when the school was founded in 1991 around the vision of 'Helping Our Youth Achieve Success.' This vision means that our staff commits to strengthening college and career readiness skills, so our Hoyas are highly competitive at the state and national levels for college admissions and prepared for their next steps after high school graduation. Welcome to the 2023–2024 school year! I am excited to begin another school year as principal at Harrison! I grew up in West Cobb and attended Due West Elementary, Pine Mountain Middle, and North Cobb High School where my Hoya connections began.
