Valedictorian, Ellie Herman '22

“Overall, my time at Leelanau has truly been one of the most happy accidents I have ever had the pleasure of taking part in. Leelanau took me, an overachieving student on the brink of burnout, and helped me find my love and curiosity to be excited to learn again. So, I guess for myself at least, Leelanau truly was a better way to learn.”

This month we said difficult goodbyes to teachers, mentors, and friends. Long-anticipated retirements and new adventures await them. Their Leelanau Spirit will live on, as will our deep gratitude and affection.
