Hailey Williford, Editor-in-Chief
Hailey Williford is a senior at RHS. She has been a part of the Smoke Signal staff for three years and can’t wait to finish off her last year of high school in such a wonderful program. Williford is an honors/AP student who has played tennis for Ripon High for three years and was the 1st seed on JV her sophomore year. Williford is a volunteer photographer for the Ripon Farmers Market and a volunteer writer for the Ripon Magazine. In her free time, she listens to music, sings, writes, and reads. In the future, Williford plans to attend college and travel the world in hopes of learning new languages and teaching others. Williford’s favorite quote is, “I don’t know how I’ll feel when I’m dead, but I don’t want to regret the way I lived.” She thinks living in the moment makes life more enjoyable and it’s best to go forward in life with an open mind. You can always turn a situation around and see the positive side.
