Milton High Hall of Fame inducts 8 new members By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com

The six living members of the Milton Hall of Fame class of 2025 take in a speech by principal Brian Jones at Milton High School Jan. 10.
MILTON, Ga. — Milton High School inducted eight people to its Hall of Fame Jan. 10, honoring the athletic, academic and military achievements of the former students and faculty. Retired Milton faculty and 2022 Hall of Fame member Jackie Angel has been involved with organizing the Hall of Fame ceremonies since they began in 2016. Principal Brian Jones praised Angel, saying that when he first took the job at Milton, he had planned to replace all department heads. However, after speaking with Angel, he said that he felt it would be “career suicide” to do so because of what she contributes to the community. He said Angel is the reason that the Hall of Fame tradition has been so successful. Angel told Appen Media she is always happy to celebrate Milton graduates alongside the eight other members of the committee. “It’s so much fun, because we get to bring alumni and faculty back that it’s like a reunion of sorts,” she said. “We would love to see more community members come. What’s really special is our history includes over 100 years, through all the buildings we’ve occupied it’s always been Milton High School.”
