Kaliss Katherine Sarli (17) was born on June 11th, 2007 in San Antonio, TX to her parents Amanda and Juan Sarli. She is a sister to four other siblings, Emili (24), Halie (24), Aleesia (21), and Aniya (13). She best describes herself as kind, caring, and positive. Something she enjoys doing is reading.

Kaliss has attended Itasca ISD since Pre-K. She is currently involved in NHS and Cheer. Her favorite teachers she’s had at Itasca have been Mrs. Kirk, Mrs. Mears, Mrs. Tink, and Mrs. Cole. When asked what her advice for the underclassman is, she responded, “Cherish it, it goes by quick.”

Kaliss’ role model is her mom, who has also made a difference in her life, along with her godfather. She would like to thank her mom, dad, and godfather for helping her get this far. After graduation, she plans to attend college to become a dental hygienist.

In 10 years, she sees herself living in a big house with a husband, and at least one, maybe two, kid(s).
