Tessa Adamopoulos - Colonial High School

Tessa is a volunteer extraordinaire having accumulated over eight hundred hours of community service. Her volunteer time has been contributed at Advent Health, Freedom Ride and Run for Fun. Art Reach, which she attended in elementary school, helps children from low-income communities explore art, and is where she dedicates the majority of her time. She helps children who have been bullied and those with health issues learn to be themselves in a safe environment. She has experienced the joy of seeing wounded children bloom into confident, positive individuals. Tessa is on the honor roll at her school. 

Favorite MLK quote: “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

Future Plans: Tessa has accepted the full scholarship opportunity from Tennessee State University and the National Basketball Retired Players Association.
