HURON HEIGHTS

TAYLOR BALL, 17

Taylor has been a strong mentor to fellow students through her involvement in leadership programs and Husky Pack. If her fellow huskies didn’t hear her voice on Sky Radio, they saw her in choir, swim team, drama productions, and MYART. She helped with international development initiatives in Panama this year. Taylor, a Grade 12 student, has been an important part of Huron’s Leadership Conference teams, serving as a spirit leader at this year’s provincial conference. Taylor volunteers with Meals on Wheels and Steckle Heritage Farm, coaches figure skating, and works as a lifeguard and instructor at the YMCA. Taylor is attending University of Guelph for molecular biology and genetics.
