HGHS Alum Succeeds in Architecture
Corey Thomas, who graduated from Hazel Green High School in 2013, was recently honored at an awards ceremony as Most Outstanding Undergraduate Student of the Year for the College of Architecture at Auburn University for the 2017-2018 school year where he
graduated Magna Cum Laude.
While a student at Auburn, Corey was a Student Ambassador for the College of Architecture, a member of Tau Sigma Delta National Honor Society in architecture, and won several scholarship awards for his designs. He was honored at the Alabama Chapter of the American Institute of Architects meeting for winning the best student design for his fashion museum concept in Tokyo, Japan. He was the first student in his class to intern due to taking AP classes at Hazel Green High School and was chosen by Steinburg Architects in San Francisco after studying in Rome, Italy, for a semester. The following summer he interned in New York City for CetraRuddy Architects.
He is now employed by Corgan Architects of New York City with offices in the Empire State Building where he has been working on the new designs of LaGuardia Airport, Washington Dulles International, New Orleans Louis Armstrong, and the recently announced JFK Airports. One of his renderings was selected to be used when the mayor of New York City presented the design to the city of New York!
