Oct. 18: Livingston County principals, staffers name exceptional students

Another week, another collection of excellent local students.

Each week, we'll share our list of Students of the Week, nominated by local high school principals and staff. The honorees will be shared online Fridays and in print Sundays.

From impressive classroom performance to excellent leadership, here are The Daily’s Students of the Week for Oct. 18:

Meet the Class of 10/18

Jackson Hojnicki, Brighton High School

Jackson stands out as an exemplary student, both academically and in his extracurricular involvement. With a 4.1667 GPA, Jackson has consistently demonstrated his commitment to excellence as he prepares for a future in medicine.      Jackson excels in time management, balancing the demands of school, varsity sports, jobs and leadership roles in organizations like Student Council, the National Honor Society, and the BHS Ruff N Rowdy Student Section. His ability to maintain academic excellence while participating in varsity lacrosse speaks to his dedication and work ethic.      Outside the classroom, Jackson has proven himself in various jobs, specifically as a ski instructor, where he helped children from underprivileged backgrounds learn how to ski. This has been particularly meaningful to him, as it combined his love for teaching with community outreach.

Jackson’s determination, leadership and compassion for others make him an outstanding choice for Student of the Week.
