Leadership, community, and service have all played an important role in Ka’mya Hawkins’ journey at Carver STEAM Academy.

After attending Finch Elementary School and Price Middle School, Ka’mya built lasting memories throughout high school, including one especially meaningful experience during her senior year. “My favorite memory is chaperoning at the annual Jekyll Island trip with my senior friends,” she shared.

Among her many accomplishments, Ka’mya says she is most proud of becoming class president — a role that allowed her to lead and represent her classmates throughout the year.

If she could speak to her freshman-year self, Ka’mya says she would offer this advice: “Don’t let anyone dim your light, and always strive to become better; never be complacent.”

After graduation, Ka’mya will attend Georgia Southern University to study education. Her long-term goal is to become a principal and eventually a superintendent, continuing her passion for leadership and helping others succeed.

When she reflects on her time at Carver STEAM, Ka’mya says she’ll always remember “the community that always pushed me to be a part of something greater than myself.”

Congratulations, Ka’mya! Your Carver STEAM family is proud of you and excited to see you inspire the next generation!
