Star Student: Jenny Excels In Volunteering, Acting In Ellicott City

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.

This submission was written by Margaret Kim who nominated Jenny of Ellicott City, Maryland.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?

Jenny has actively engaged in Howard County not only within her high school, but also by volunteering at the state level supporting former Gov. Larry Hogan. Some of her endeavors include Student Government Association, Class Board, National Honor Society, International Thespian Society and Theatre. Leadership has always been her most important pillar as a student. Jenny is the class of 2025’s president and has been nominated as next year’s SGA president. As a member of the National Honor Society, she provides service and assistance to different events or shelters. She has also been a member of the theater department since freshman year. Theater is a place where she can both showcase her talents in singing and dancing while also challenging herself to be creative. Daily, Jenny strives to make a difference within her school and Howard County, too.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?

Jenny is a strong student leader who embraces challenges head on and welcomes the opportunity to foster community wherever she goes.

Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, Jenny!
