  • K. Lee Graham Miss Teen Usa 2014
    K. LEE GRAHAM MISS TEEN USA 2014 K. Lee Graham of Chapin, South Carolina became Miss Teen USA on August 2nd at Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas. Hours after being crowned, the 18-year-old honors student arrived in New York City still in disbelief that the new title as Miss Teen USA was really hers. The small town of Chapin is home to one of South Carolina’s most academically competitive high schools (Chapin High) where K. Lee currently holds a 5.024 GPA and is ranked number one in her class. She believes that education is the foundation for anything you wish to accomplish in life which K. Lee has promoted in classrooms across the country throughout her reign. Born Katherine Lee, the abbreviation for K. Lee (“Kaylee”) stuck after her youngest sister couldn’t quite pronounce her full name and therefore took the liberty to shorten it to include only the first letter “K.” Passionate about theater, the teen who describes herself as quirky and a “drama nerd” has studied drama at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities’ intensive summer program as well as participated in several local productions. K. Lee is the second oldest of five children and has been raised to be penny-wise to save for the college of her choice. As a member of the SAT Team which preps students for the test, K. Lee will attend the University of South Carolina Honors College where she plans to study international business and marketing this fall with several scholarships.
