KaLease Thomas has spent her years at Carver STEAM balancing academic excellence with unforgettable memories shared alongside friends.
After attending Slater Elementary School and Price Middle School, KaLease made the most of her high school experience by staying focused on her goals while enjoying the everyday moments that made school meaningful. “Whether it was during class, lunch, or even in the hallways, those moments made school feel less stressful and more enjoyable,” she said.
One of KaLease’s proudest accomplishments is maintaining honor roll throughout her time at Carver STEAM. “It took consistency, discipline, and hard work to keep my grades at a high level,” she shared. “Even when things became challenging, I stayed focused and committed to my goals.”
Looking back, KaLease says she would encourage her freshman-year self to become more involved in school activities and opportunities. She believes participating in clubs and events helps students grow, meet new people, and create lasting memories.
Following graduation, KaLease plans to attend Georgia Tech to study aerospace engineering. Before beginning college, she also hopes to spend time traveling and relaxing during the summer.
As she reflects on her journey, KaLease says she’ll always remember “the laughs, the moments, and the people who made them special.”
Congratulations, KaLease! From your early days at Slater and Price to your success at Carver STEAM, your journey through the PBSA family has been marked by hard work, growth, and determination. We can’t wait to see all you accomplish at Georgia Tech and beyond.
