As she forges her future, Kamryn Rempson has a legacy in mind. She says her fondest memory from high school was Hillside’s homecoming her junior year. “There was so much energy and school spirit for Hillside’s 100th anniversary. I was proud of being a legacy. My grandparents were also graduates of Hillside.”
She’s been admitted to 33 colleges, but she is deciding between three: Winston-Salem State University, where she has been named a Chancellor Scholar; N.C. Central University, where she is a finalist for a full scholarship; and N.C. A&T University, where she is also a finalist for a full scholarship.
At Hillside, Rempson has maintained a perfect, 4.0 unweighted GPA. She is also a member of the Theta Phi Delta Sorority, National Honor Society, W.E.B. DuBois Honor Society, and student council.
“Kamryn has demonstrated excellence in all areas as a student here at Hillside High School,” said her principal, Dr. William Logan. We are extremely proud of her and all of her accomplishments.”
After she graduates, Rempson said “My ultimate goal is to serve my community as a criminal defense attorney specializing in juvenile law. I think I can make a difference in supporting my fellow African American peers that are often misunderstood and underrepresented.”
