In an effort to reveal the hidden talents, personalities, and accomplishments of Lakehill's most experienced students, the National Junior Honor Society presents:

NJHS Spotlight on Seniors!

This week's senior: Jordan Johnson

Jordan Johnson has attended Lakehill since her sophomore year and has always felt welcome. "I have learned things at Lakehill that I would have never learned at my old school. The amount of homework we have has taught me tolerance and self-control." 

English is Jordan's favorite school subject. She has particularly enjoyed this year's deep, philosophical conversations and class discussions about the texts they are reading. She enjoys this subject because she can see her improvement as she writes more and more. Mr. Jones and Mr. Hagood are her favorite teachers because they have made English challenging, for which she is thankful. 

Jordan is involved in many extracurricular activities including musical theater, choir, volleyball, and track. She serves as the Vice President of the Pan American Student Forum (PASF). In her free time, Jordan enjoys singing in her church choir and playing club volleyball. She also likes to play piano.

Jordan is considering several schools, including Centenary, Tulane University, the University of Arkansas, and the University of North Texas.

Jordan says that the best advice her parents ever gave her was, "There comes a time in every person's life when they have to choose between doing what's right and what's easy." This has helped Jordan stay focused in school and shape her personality. 

Her advice to a young Warrior is to get involved, since this is the only way you can become and leader and be more confident in yourself.

Jordan's advice to underclassmen is to go to tutoring when help is needed and do not procrastinate. Her most memorable moment was going to Houston for ISAS, the Independent School Association of the Southwest's art festival. 

When she goes to college, Jordan will most miss her family, and the close, family-friend environment at Lakehill.

The seventh grade selected trees to classify and mark with GPS. The students will create QR codes to place on them that include information about the trees.

The sixth grade is conducting water quality tests on the ESC fish tank, stream, and pond. They will determine which ecosystem is the healthiest based on their test results and how they can improve each one.
