The school is very small, graduating about 30 seniors a year. The students all know one another, Harrison said, making Hampton's death that much harder to accept.
"We've had some students come and talk to me" and the school counselor, Harrison said.
On Friday night, hours before the body was found in Tennessee, the school held a fundraiser for her family, collecting more than $700 for expenses.
Students from Hampton's 2007 graduating class came back for the night's football game and released balloons into the air in her memory.
"Some of the students tied messages to the balloons," Harrison said, "saying 'I hope you're OK. We love you.'"
