Bibb County superintendent spotlights Northeast High senior Haley Terry’s college plans and school involvement

Bibb County School District Superintendent Dr. Sims used a Facebook Live session to introduce Northeast High School senior Haley Terry and to let her describe her college plans, extracurricular activities and advice for adults.

Haley Terry, a senior at Northeast High School, told Dr. Sims she plans “to major in sociology and go down pre law track to become a corporate lawyer.” She said she intends to apply to the University of Georgia and Hampton University.

The segment was brief but focused on Terry’s school and community involvement. Terry said she was recognized as a “star student,” participates in cross country and track, plays flag football, and is a member of HOSA, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), GCAPS and the National Technical Honor Society. She also said she volunteers at her church.

Terry offered a message for parents and adults: “Just always encourage your kids. Try and push them to take on more leadership roles at their school, in their community. It helps, to build them up and you learn more things,” she said.

Superintendent Dr. Sims praised Terry’s engagement and called her “a quiet storm,” saying he was proud of her record of involvement and that conversations with students help district leaders better support them. The live session closed with Dr. Sims thanking Terry and asking viewers to send “love.”

The interview did not include formal district actions, funding details or policy discussion; it was presented as a brief student profile and encouragement to the school community.
