HMS principal resigning, joining HHS staff

Ryan Philipp

Harpeth Middle School Principal Ryan Philipp announced Thursday that he is stepping down as principal at the end of the 2018-2019 school year.

Philipp, who has been with the district for 13 years, will serve as the academic specialist at Harpeth High School next school year.

A 2001 graduate of Harpeth High School, Philipp taught at HHS for eight years before being named the assistant principal at Cheatham Middle School. After two years at CMS, he was named the HMS principal in 2016.

Philipp said the following about his decision:

It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to come back home and serve as the Principal of Harpeth Middle School for the past three years. At this point in my life, though, I have three little ones aged 5, 3, and 8 months that are simply calling for more of my time than this position currently allows.

I believe strongly in the adage that you’ll never regret spending too much time with your children and at 36 years of age, I feel that it’s time to press pause and revisit school administration at a time down the road when they are a little older and I’m better able to dedicate the proper energy to giving the job of a school administrator all I have.

HMS is a fantastic place, with amazing staff members and students, and a wonderful and supportive community, and I couldn’t imagine a better place to have had this opportunity. I’ve made lifelong friends at HMS and I can’t thank all of my friends and colleagues enough for supporting me as principal every day and helping to make these three years so successful and fulfilling as an educator.

I also want to extend a sincere thank you to Dr. Beck, Dr. Watson and Stacy Brinkley for their amazing support and guidance during these past few emotional weeks. I know that I surprised them when I first floated the idea of stepping back from this position, but their kind and understanding approach to every aspect of this tough time has meant more to myself and my family than I can even express. Their leadership and compassion with their staff members represents a primary reason why I couldn’t imagine leaving this district.

To that end, while I am deeply torn on leaving HMS, I am honored to get to return to another place that has been very special to me in education career in Harpeth High School. I will be working with Dr. Rector, Shannon Schliwa and the amazing staff at HHS as their academic specialist starting in the fall, and I look forward to continue serving and supporting the students and staff of the southern cluster in this new role.

Thank you so much again to everyone at HMS for everything these past three years and for giving me an opportunity to lead such a fantastic school and a fantastic group of students, staff, and parents. It has truly been an incredible honor.

Karley Miller

Harpeth High School has named Karley Miller as its new girls basketball coach.

Miller replaces Jimmy Mitchell, who recently resigned after leading the Lady Indians for nine seasons.

Miller, a 2010 graduate of HHS and who helped guide the Lady Indians to two district championships, said being named head coach is an honor.

“Growing up in Kingston Springs and playing basketball at Harpeth High School was the first love of my life. Now being able to lead this group of young women in the sport I’m most passionate about at my alma mater is completely full-circle for me,” she said.

Miller added: “I’m beyond excited to get back to the hardwoods that have blessed me with so many memories. As far as my goals for this team, we will work hard, grow as people, and push each other to leave it all on the floor. Winning is a by-product of hard work. I want these girls to know that basketball is so much more than wins and losses. If we take care of business in the offseason and at practice, the record will take care of itself. The pain of regret is far worse than the pain of hard work. By the end of the season, we will know hard work, and we shouldn’t have any regrets. Let’s get started.”

Miller, an English teacher at Harpeth Middle School, brings a wealth of experience with her to the position.

A standout player at HHS, she scored more than 1,000 career points and was named to the All-District and All-Tournament teams her junior and senior seasons. She earned All-Tournament MVP honors her junior year.

She played basketball at Lee University in Cleveland from 2010-2014. While at Lee, she played in the national tournament all four years (three in the NAIA and one in the NCCAA) and earned two national championship runner-up titles. Additionally, she was named a Southern States Athletic Conference All-Tournament Player her junior year and earned numerous academic honors during her career at Lee.

Miller served as graduate assistant at Lee from April-December 2014 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education in December 2014. She later earned a master’s degree in education leadership from Western Governor’s University in April 2019.

Before joining the HMS staff in 2017, Miller served as an English teacher and head girls basketball coach at H.G. Hill Middle School in Nashville. Additionally, she was an assistant under Mitchell at HHS during the 2017-2018 season.

Mitchell will continue to serve as a teacher and athletic director at HHS as well as the district’s athletic director.

There are some students who set the bar. They work harder, show more passion and lead by example — in the classroom, on the field and within the community.

The Wendy’s High School Heisman program recognizes four Cheatham County seniors – Ashley Garrett and Triston Hampton of Sycamore High School, Mallory Anderson of Cheatham County Central High School and Win Seagraves of Harpeth High School – by naming them school winners.

From a total applicant pool of nearly 42,000 high school scholar-athletes graduating with the class of 2019, more than 7,500 were named school winners in Wendy’s annual scholarship program.

The Wendy's High School Heisman was created by Wendy's founder Dave Thomas in 1994.

Since 1994, Wendy’s and the Heisman Trophy Trust have been running the same play to perfection: honoring more than 600,000 of the nation’s most esteemed students who share Wendy's values of giving back to their communities, treating people with respect, continuing education and excelling on the athletic field.
