Neillsville High School students Elizabeth Jorgensen and Jayda Harris were
recently named Cloverbelt Conference Academic Scholars.
Jorgensen and Harris were recognized at the conference’s annual banquet April
14, which was hosted by Eau Claire Regis High School.
Harris was recognized for being on honor roll and being a Junior Kiwanian. She
also received the Michigan Technological Women Engineers Award. At the high
school, she has received an academic letter, earned summa cum laude status, was
a part of the National Honor Society and received the Academic Excellence
Scholarship. She has been accepted to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
and other UW colleges.
Harris also has had leadership roles in FFA and student council, and as her
class president. She has also been a part of the Spanish club, leadership team,
show choir, Being a Leader and Standing Tall (BLAST) and teen Leadership Council
(TLC).
“My academic success has helped me grow because it showed me that if you work
hard, it will pay off,” Harris stated in a booklet distributed at the banquet.
“Having academic success on my side will help me reach my life goals because it
will keep me working hard in college, and in the career path that I choose.”
Harris plans to go to UW-Stevens Point next year but hasn’t decided a major yet.
“My goal in the long term is to help people in my community and the surrounding
areas,” Harris stated in the booklet.
Jorgensen was recognized for being on the straight-A honor roll for four years,
as well as being a part of the National Honor Society, receiving academic
letters and being accepted into Lawrence University.
Jorgensen has also had a leadership role in Spanish club and has been the
treasurer of her class. She was also captain in cross county, hockey and
softball. She has also participated in 4-H, FFA and the Calvary Lutheran Youth
Group.
“My academic success has taught me qualities that will continue to help me in my
future,” Jorgensen stated in the booklet. “It has taught me perseverance, time
management and determination. Having to develop these skills have allowed me to
become who I am today. They will continue to help me through college, too.”
Jorgensen plans to attend Lawrence University and major in environmental
studies. She will play on the university’s hockey team, which is a part of NCAA
Division III.
“I am hoping to attend law school and attain a career in environmental law,”
Jorgensen stated in the booklet.

Jonathan and Trish Harris.
