Briley Simpson

Introducing Mr. McMillan, the new computer technician at Heritage High School. If you are ever in need of anything tech related he is the person to go to! He previously worked at Dalton State College doing IT work. His responsibilities at Heritage are very similar to his previous job. He came to Heritage because he heard it was a great community from a friend that had previously worked at our school. He is new to the Ringgold area as he grew up in Dalton and graduated from Northwest Whitfield High School. He graduated from Dalton College prior to working there. So far, he is really loving his new job. He says, “I really enjoy the environment so far at Heritage.” In his spare time he likes to do anything that is outdoors! Being outdoors is great! For example, he enjoys paddle boarding. Overall, Mr. McMillian is a great addition to the Heritage family.

She enjoys taking challenging  Science courses. Her favorite subject is Science, and her favorite Science class was Honors Chemistry. A new hobby of hers is going to the gym and reading. In her spare time she enjoys reading, going for car rides and listening to music, going shopping, and working on the weekends. She currently does not have a lot of spare time: between work, school, and college classes, she is very busy. She moved from Las Vegas to Georgia her freshman year of high school and has loved the Heritage community and teachers. She is excited about what the future has for Journalism and enjoys writing about things she finds interesting.

Briley Simpson, Yearbook Editor
Briley Simpson is entering her fourth year as a staff member of the HHS General Journal. She enjoys reading all the articles that get published and loves coming up with new ideas of things to cover. As this is her senior year, she is excited to once again help with the yearbook "The Legacy." She and staff member Allie Boyd are Co-Editors of the book. Briley also occupies her time by participating in clubs such as the Musical Theatre Tech team, BETA, SGA, NHS, NEHS, and the Lady Generals Soccer Team.  When Briley is not thinking about school, she turns to her bookshelf: a place where she feels the most comfort. Reading is one of her most enthralling pastimes. While she dives into a new story, she also likes to listen to music. Taylor Alison Swift is, of course, her #1 artist on Spotify and has been for the past five years. All in all, Briley is both overcome with sadness and optimism as she enters her final year of High School. She hopes that the work she accomplishes in Journalism will in fact leave a legacy!
