Brighton grad ignites kids’ passion for learning

Although Shelby Lewis said she had her share of “senioritis,” that feeling of apathy in one’s final year of high school, her grades certainly didn’t show it.

The 18-year-old Brighton Township resident earned straight-”A” grades in her senior year at Brighton High School, continuing her trend throughout high school where she only once had a lower grade — was a B-plus in AP chemistry.

Besides being a top academic student, the 2009 graduate participated in Odyssey of the Mind, National Honor Society, played softball and gave chemistry demonstrations to elementary school students. Lewis was named to the 2009 Press & Argus All-County Academic Team.
