As we begin our Top 10 Senior Countdown, we are proud to recognize #10, Ella!

After graduation, Ella plans to attend Hiram College, where she will double major in neuroscience and psychology while also pursuing a minor in entrepreneurship. In addition to her academic goals, she will continue her athletic career playing college volleyball. Her hard work has earned her significant recognition, including a $60,000 merit scholarship from Hiram College and a $20,000 Governor’s Scholarship from the state of Ohio.

Throughout high school, Ella has been deeply involved in her school community, demonstrating both leadership and commitment. She has served as an officer for Best Buddies and DECA, a committee head for National Honor Society, and a student council representative. Beyond school, she is active in Young Life and has dedicated years to club volleyball, playing since she was 11 years old.

Ella is especially grateful for the support system that has helped her reach this point. She would like to thank her friends and family for their encouragement, with a special appreciation for her mom, whose dedication made many of her opportunities possible. She also gives a heartfelt thank you to her best buddy, Brooklyn, for always pushing her to be her best.

One of Ella’s favorite high school memories includes competing at DECA state competitions and spending time every Friday with Brooklyn during EDGE—moments that made her experience both meaningful and memorable.

Congratulations, Ella! We are proud of all you’ve accomplished and excited to see what your future holds!
