Back
During his time at Wesleyan, Kavel played football as a freshman and played varsity basketball all four years of high school earning over 1,000 career points. He participated in the Italy mission trip last year, is a member of the investment club, and is a member of the senior leadership team (a group of students chosen by their grade chairs who lead the senior class in activities and responsibilities). Outside of the classroom, Kavel is an active member of Serve Georgia. He established a team that makes sandwiches every Sunday afternoon at his house to deliver to those experiencing homelessness. Kavel is still considering his college options.
Freeman has participated in Wesleyan athletics as a part of the varsity soccer team for the past three years; he also plays year-round soccer with his club team. Freeman’s passion for STEM is displayed in his choice of taking STEM classes every year of high school culminating in the STEM senior seminar class. He is a founding member of the robotics team; both of his VEX robots made it into the state competition, and he has participated in two STEM showcases. Freeman is an active member of the math team and chess club. He is active in his youth group at North Point Community Church. Freeman will study mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech next year.
Congratulations, Josh and Kallaghan. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
