Alexis is a senior at North Myrtle Beach High School. She is a determined young lady who also has a passion for helping others. Her hard work and dedication is not only recognized by her teachers in their classrooms, but also through honor societies. She has been inducted into the National Honors Society and the National Social Studies Honor Society. Additionally, she is a member of the Beta Club.

Being a member of each of these clubs has helped Alexis to also give back to the North Myrtle Beach school and public communities. She has been a participant in Tree Huggers, an in-school recycling program, and assisted with hurricane relief these past few years. One of her favorite ways to give back is by participating through Christmas Angels, a program that allows students to raise money and buy gifts for less fortunate students at the elementary school.

When not in school, Alexis enjoys participating at her church, Ocean Drive Presbyterian. She sings at church and helps with the kid’s ministry. Additionally, she enjoys attending church events and creating recap videos of these events.

Alexis has been presented with an award from Dew’s. She is a true student leader.
