2019 Sequoyah HS Alum

In theatres now, Cherokee County native Presley Coley can be seen on the big screen in the movie, “Saturday Night.”  Presley plays the role of Barbara Gallagher, who was one of the associate producers for the first episode of the long-running show, “Saturday Night Live.”  Her character pops in many scenes throughout the movie. 

Presley got her start in musical theatre at a young age, participating in both community and high school theatre.  She played several lead roles during her time at Sequoyah HS.  She landed her first on-screen role at age 14 in “The Boss,” featuring Melissa McCarthy.  After graduating high school, she moved to New York where she attended and graduated from Pace University in 2023.

Presley still is very involved with the theatre program at Sequoyah HS.  When she isn’t acting, she’s volunteering her time to help direct the school’s shows.
