🏆🧡🖤 October Community Member of the Month – Jared Harkness! 🖤🧡🏆
We are proud to recognize Jared Harkness as our Elmwood Community Member of the Month!
Jared's dedication to Elmwood began as a standout Trojan student-athlete, where he represented our school and community with pride. Following his success at Elmwood, Jared continued his track and field career at Lewis University.
Since returning to the Elmwood community, Jared has continued to make a lasting impact on our student-athletes. He generously volunteers his time with our track and field and cross country programs, working alongside students during practices and even staying afterward to provide individualized instruction. No matter the event or skill a student wants to improve, Jared is always willing to lend his knowledge, encouragement, and support.
What makes Jared's dedication even more inspiring is his personal journey. While battling and overcoming cancer, Jared's commitment to our student-athletes never wavered. In fact, he was so eager to support our Trojans that he returned to cheer them on before he had fully recovered!
Whether he's helping athletes improve their performance, offering encouragement, or cheering from the sidelines, you'll find Jared supporting our Elmwood Trojans at countless events.
Jared is a shining example of The Trojan Way, demonstrating perseverance, selflessness, dedication, and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed.
Thank you, Jared, for giving back to the community that helped shape you and for continuing to make a difference in the lives of our students. We are incredibly fortunate to have you as part of the Elmwood Trojan family!
