Maddie Hines, Social Media

Hines is a Senior at McIntosh and this is her third year on staff on the Trail. This year she serves as the Social Media Manager as well as her continuation on Team Multimedia. 

In her freshman year, she was Vice President of her class. Hines is currently a McIntosh Ambassador and has also done debate at the state level. Hines is interested in things like creative writing, film and law. In fact, from 2017-2019, she spent three weeks of each summer staying on campus at Emory University for this summer program called SIG (Summer Institute for the Gifted.) There she took classes like song writing, filming, working a camera, creative writing, things of that nature. At Emory, she was able to see what life would be like as a college student. She hopes to obtain some degree in law as well as journalism in the future. In the 2024-2025 school year, Hines was awarded Superior at the GSPA Spring 2025 Convention for her podcast episode “Putting the U in HBCU” where she talks about historically Black Colleges/Universities

During her free time, she likes to play volleyball, bake, watch movies, and spend time with friends and family. Because she is new on staff, she hopes to learn new things and new life skills such as responsibility, punctuality and reliability.
