Josie Lakin Shows Talent And Dedication At Jersey Community High School

JERSEYVILLE – From the classroom to the theater, musical pit, and beyond, Josie Lakin excels.

For her consistency, talent, and more, Lakin is being honored as an April 2026 Medford Wealth Management Student of the Month for Jersey Community High School.

As a junior at JCHS, Lakin has been involved in the band program for the past seven years. This past year, she’s also been involved in Link Crew and the musical pit band while serving as an assistant to the theater director.

As a High Honor Roll and National Honors Society Student, Lakin added she’s “honored to represent my school.” After graduation, she plans on majoring in Biology at a four-year university, then attending graduate school to earn a PhD in Forensic Science.

Aside from school activities, Lakin works as a lifeguard and front desk clerk at the Jersey Community Hospital Wellness Center, where she teaches swim lessons. She also teaches swim lessons at Westlake Country Club and volunteers for the children’s program at her church. In her spare time, Lakin said she enjoys photography, reading, music, taking walks, and hanging out with friends.

“Josie is a dedicated student who quietly works hard in all of her classes and consistently earns excellent grades,” Teacher Shelby Eisler said. “Beyond the classroom, she is an active member of theater and book club, showing both talent and commitment in all she does!”

Principal Thomas Leslie described Lakin as “a high character student at JCHS.”

“If she gets involved in something, she is going to give 100%,” Leslie said. “I've known Josie for a long time and it has been a joy to watch her grow into such a talented and dedicated young lady.”

Congratulations to Josie Lakin for being named an April 2026 Medford Wealth Management Student of the Month for Jersey Community High School!
