The Huntington Lions Club has placed a “bet” that Sarah Krisch is headed for a successful experience at college and in her eventual career and beyond in life.

Huntington Lions Club President John DeLorenzo was on hand to present the $5,000 scholarship to Ms. Krisch at the high school’s senior academic scholarships and awards ceremony.

The teenager attributes her success to “quite a few things,” including following her interests and working hard to fulfill the high expectations she sets for herself; balancing collaboration with thinking independently and being creative.

A member of five separate academic honor societies, Ms. Krisch has been a chemistry lab assistant, president of the high school’s National Honor Society chapter, corresponding secretary of the Environmental Club, secretary of the Grandfriends Club and a member of Huntington’s robotics team,

The teenager said she has “loved” having the same group of kids in most of her classes for the past four years. Developing close friendships has helped make Ms. Krisch’s high school years special.
