Livingston County's Amazing Students of the Week!
Okay, get this – Livingston County is overflowing with ridiculously talented students! Every week we celebrate some of the incredible high schoolers who are acing their classes, making a difference in their communities, and generally being awesome human beings. This week? Five superstars earned the "Student of the Week" title for May 9th, and you are *not* going to believe what they've accomplished.
Meet the May 9th Stars
First up, we have Mya Nemecek from Brighton High School. This senior has a GPA that’s practically off the charts (4.0952!), and she’s already set her sights on a career in nursing. She’s also a *three-time* Lacrosse State Champion – seriously, how does she do it all?! Beyond that, Mya's on the National Honor Society's Induction Committee and volunteers with Gleaners and the Day of Caring. Oh, and she's on the BHS Academic Wall of Fame. This girl's a force of nature!
Next, we've got Zach Wallace from Fowlerville High School. This guy's the definition of a well-rounded student-athlete. He plays *four* sports – football, track, wrestling, *and* basketball – while keeping up with his college prep classes. And he’s doing it all with a positive attitude and a genuine commitment to mentoring younger students. Talk about juggling!
Hayden Miller, a senior from Hartland High School, is just incredibly kind and always ready to lend a hand. She's faced some serious personal challenges, but she’s kept an amazing positive outlook and been a real advocate for herself and her classmates. Her assistant principal, Jessica Guss, raves about Hayden's resilience and says she’s got a bright future ahead of her. We couldn’t agree more!
Howell High School's Elias Holley truly embodies the Highlander spirit. He's incredibly determined and hardworking, excelling in his classes (including AP English and Spanish 4!). But it's not just his grades; Elias is also incredibly respectful and helpful, making him a fantastic role model for his peers. What a guy!
And then there's Emily Tripp from Pinckney Community High School. This senior is crushing it academically, athletically (volleyball and track!), and in student leadership. She totally embodies those Positivity Project traits – leadership, gratitude, kindness, and perspective. No wonder her teachers and classmates adore her! She's heading to Ferris State University to study criminal justice. We can’t wait to see what she does next!
Finally, let's give a shout-out to Caleb Schlicker, a sophomore from Kensington Woods Schools. This kid is quietly amazing. He’s a math whiz who taught himself calculus and even leads workshops for his classmates! His teacher, Mrs. Pollman, says he's an "excited and creative problem-solver." He’s also involved in Scouts and the school's Dungeons and Dragons club – a well-rounded scholar indeed!
Livingston County's Best and Brightest
These six students truly represent the best of Livingston County's high school community. Their achievements, dedication to service, and positive attitudes are seriously inspiring. We're so proud to celebrate Mya, Zach, Hayden, Elias, Emily, and Caleb as our Students of the Week. They're setting a great example for everyone, and their schools and community should be incredibly proud!
