Hill High girls' cross country team has helped the Rebels emerge as contenders for a top-four finish in the Southern Section Division I championships and a state-meet berth.

After school and tennis, she's busy helping put together three different shows - building a set for a school play, directing a Halloween production for the vocal studio and preparing songs for a program in December. But that's not all. Simmons also is an editor for her school paper and a member of Hart's academic team and the YMCA-sponsored Youth in Government program.
