Kora is a 12th grader at Topsail High School, recognized for her leadership.
Kora has taken on a leadership role outside of school as an assistant coach for a Surf City Recreation Center volleyball team. In that role, she works with players to build their skills and encourages them to support each other as a team. She focuses on helping each player grow and keeps a positive, steady attitude during practices and games.
Her approach has helped the team work together and build trust, which carries over into how students interact with each other.
Outside of school, Kora enjoys volleyball 🏐, spending time with friends at the beach 🌊, and taking her dog Banner 🐶 for walks at Kiwanis Park. Her favorite food is Cuban sandwiches 🥪, and her favorite color is blue 💙.
One fun fact—when Kora was 6 years old, she once tried racing cars with her brother 🚗.
💙 Thank you, Kora, for the leadership you show in your community.
