Congratulations, York Community High School Grad Haley Brown

ELMHURST, IL — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

York Community High School student Haley Brown will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: University of Kentucky-Lexington to study Nursing

Accomplishments: 4 year High Honor Roll; National Honor Society; French Honor Society; 4 year York Cheerleading; 4 year Student Council Member; President of Student Council Senior Year; Freshman Mentor; York Peer Tutor; Student Ambassador; Elmhurst Hospital Volunteer; PTA Scholarship Recipient; Mary Wheeler Scholarship Recipient; Awarded Presidential Merit Scholarship from The University of Kentucky-full tuition and fees for four years.

Special message: We are so proud of all you have accomplished so far, Haley! We are excited for you to begin your new chapter at The University of Kentucky and know you have a bright future ahead of you!
