Hello, Harrison High!
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am excited to begin my second year as principal here at Harrison.
As a North Cobb native, I attended Baker Elementary, JJ Daniel Middle, and North Cobb High School. My connection to Harrison dates back to high school, when it was known as the “new school across town.” Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of competing against Harrison as both an athlete and a coach, and I have always admired its strong sense of community. Harrison is truly a special place, thanks to its rich traditions and the unwavering support of its stakeholders.
It is an honor to continue serving as your principal and to carry on the proud legacy of excellence that defines Harrison. Our shared vision of Helping Our Youth Achieve Success drives our commitment to strengthening the skills and knowledge our students need for life beyond high school. Since opening in 1991, Harrison has thrived because of its dedicated students, talented faculty, engaged community, and outstanding extracurricular programs. As we enter Harrison’s 34th year, I will continue to nurture these traditions and work with our community to build on our success for the future. I look forward to partnering with each of you to make a meaningful difference in our students’ lives.
A bit about my background: 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. While at Wheeler, I coached several sports, including serving as head coach for both softball and baseball. After nine years there, I transitioned into administration at Walton High School and Kell High School. I then served as an assistant principal here at Harrison for a year before being named principal in the spring of 2024.
I am married and have three children — Ellie, Grace, and Bennett. You will see us at many school events this year, as my daughters will also be attending Harrison.
Let’s make it a great year together!
Dr. Jeff Milton
