Leslie has earned PSA national recognition for National History Day (NHD), a program she helped establish at Palmetto and has advised, judged and coached. She has taken groups to the national finals in Washington, D.C., for the past four years. In 2018, two of Leslie's students placed second in the country for their documentary about the role The Coca-Cola Company played in Atlanta's civil rights movement.
