Elizabethtown Area High School is proud to recognize its May Rotary Club Students of the Month: Bridget Jackson and Henry Leaman. This honor celebrates students who demonstrate excellence in academics, leadership, and community involvement, highlighting their positive impact on the school and broader community.
Bridget is the daughter of James Jackson and Tonia Beh of Bristol, PA.
Bridget is an accomplished student leader at Elizabethtown Area High School. She serves as co-leader of the Student Lighthouse Team and is a Link Crew, Pep Club, and Human Rights Club member. Bridget also showcases her school spirit as varsity co-captain of the football and winter cheerleading squads.
A strong student, Bridget earned an Academic Excellence Award in English 10. She was crowned the 2024 Homecoming Queen, an honor that reflects her kindness, character, and connection with her peers. Committed to fostering positive relationships, she participates in Bigs and Littles and Club Ophelia—initiatives that promote mentorship and community building among youth.
Bridget works at Isaac’s in Mount Joy.
In the fall, she plans to attend Widener University to major in psychology. Aspiring to become a licensed therapist, she hopes to serve others as a marriage and family counselor.
Henry is the son of Mark and Andrea Stoner Leaman of Bainbridge.
Henry is a well-rounded and engaged student who contributes meaningfully to a variety of academic and service-oriented programs at Elizabethtown Area High School. His diverse involvement includes Stage Crew, Science Club, Art Club, Debate Club, Key Club, Student Council, Model UN, Roots and Shoots, School Newspaper, Book Club, Link Crew, and the Human Rights Club.
Henry was awarded an Academic Excellence Award in biology for his strong scientific performance. He extends his leadership beyond the
classroom through service activities with the Science Club, Key Club, and Student Council. He is also employed at Weis Markets, where he has worked since the summer of 2023.
In addition to his school and work commitments, Henry is active in his faith community at Blossom Hill Mennonite Church. As part of his church’s outreach, he participated in a service trip to Washington, D.C., during his sophomore year and helped serve at a community meal, reinforcing his values of compassion and service.
Looking ahead, Henry plans to take a gap year, with interest in joining the Forest Corps of AmeriCorps. He has been accepted to multiple colleges and is exploring how a year of service can deepen his understanding of environmental stewardship, civic responsibility, and global citizenship.
