Congratulations Emily Jackson!
2026 LSHA Scholarship Recipient
Thank you Emily for your tremendous and intentional service for our lake community!
Emily is a rising junior at Jefferson Township High School.
The following is her application essay:
“This past year I have been working with the lake association; I have assisted in requesting and locating the town’s storm drains that lead into Lake Swannanoa via completing an OPRA request to the town on behalf of the lake association. As an environmental science student, I understand that such projects are important to complete and partake in as they directly impact the health of the lake ecosystem. By the end of May, I will have completed over eleven hours of lake clean up and community service this year. I have gone to various areas of the lake and the lake’s shores to clean up garbage. I understand the importance of keeping our lake clean for not only the people who reside around it but also the multitude of organisms that inhabit the area. I’ve lived at Lake Swannanoa for almost the entirety of my life and hold it very dear to my heart. Ever since I was a child I have loved and appreciated every moment of my time that I can spend at the lake’s shore and will continue to so as long as I live here.
I am currently a sophomore in high school. My GPA is currently unavailable as they are released at the end of the school year, but last year I ended the year with a 4.0 and this year I have maintained high honor roll every marking period (all grades above 90). My lowest grade all year has been a 91. I’m currently in the environmental science academy and I am planning to be a marine biologist in the future.”
Emily received her award at the beach during the general membership meeting in May.
