Lily’s career goal is to complete a doctorate degree in physical therapy and open a physical therapy clinic. She was her high school’s first female state medal winner in wrestling and a three-time captain of the varsity team.

She served as class president in Student Council and president of the National Honor Society for the 2022-2023 school year. She is active with several service-based clubs, where she tutored children in math and helped freshmen transition successfully into high school. Lily is active with the Saint Vincent DePaul Youth Group and volunteers at a local peace pantry.

Coach and teacher Ronald Wilhelm says Lily is extremely bright and a great leader in the classroom. He describes her as “a one in a million type of student.” Fire Chief Mick Fischer says that, in addition to her many great qualities, Lily has been a huge help to her family in the wake of her father’s death.
