SALISHA'S STORY

Touring with School Tours of America inspired Salisha Thomas to follow her dreams.  Salisha says of the experience,

"Traveling with School Tours of America was so educational and really opened my eyes to the possibilities outside of the bubble of my hometown."

After graduation she relocated to New York.  Salisha performs in the Broadway production, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

"I keep referring back to my 8th grade field trip to New York and DC and how it changed my life by broadening my horizons."

Salisha's teacher inspired her to live the dream, and you can do the same.
