Kendall Thomas Way Unveiled at North Paulding

Family, friends, and members of the Paulding County School District and North Paulding High School community gathered Friday morning, January 16, 2026, to honor NPHS student Kendall Thomas. Kendall is an extraordinary young woman who has demonstrated remarkable strength, resilience, and courage throughout her ongoing journey of recovery following a tragic event that occurred more than four years ago. Her journey has included many challenges, along with meaningful milestones, and through it all, Kendall has inspired those around her with her determination and spirit. The ceremony commemorated Kendall with the unveiling of Kendall Thomas Way, a street sign that will serve as a daily reminder of her perseverance and the importance of crosswalk and traffic safety on school campuses through the district’s Drive Alert, Cross Smart campaign.
