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: Jack Pippen

Jack Pippen has been attending Lakehill Prep for ten years. He played football for Lakehill as a junior and has been the pitcher for the Varsity Baseball team for two years. One of his fondest memories is riding back on the bus from sports events with his teammates. Jack's favorite field trip while at Lakehill was this year during Upper School Day of Service when he and the entire senior class participated in a day of community service with Reading Partners at a South Dallas Elementary School.

During the school year, Jack's favorite subject is English with his favorite teacher Mr. Hagood. He loves the book Hamlet by William Shakespeare. Not surprisingly, he plans to major in English or Philosophy in college. Jack has been accepted to some of the top private liberal arts school in the country, including Pitzer College, Kenyon College, and the College of Wooster. Although he says he is nearing a decision, he is awaiting acceptances from two more schools before making a final decision.

Jack is a dedicated volunteer, and has been active in a variety of community service projects. He is a recipient of the President's Volunteer Service Award and was a local honoree for this year's Prudential Spirit of Community Award. Jack has combined his love of service with his love of travel by working on a special project with his family in Africa. Jack helped collect and distribute books and clothing to the children in a rural school in Namibia, and spent last summer teaching in the school.

Jack says his will most miss the closeness of the Lakehill community when he leaves.
