Meredith Clark, a 2024 ALA Badger Girls State delegate from Green Lake High School, has distinguished herself as a leader and scholar. She was honored as a national scholar recipient of the prestigious Samsung American Legion Scholarship, awarded in memory of her late great-grandfather, Leonard P. Reetz, a Korean War veteran. Meredith will be recognized for this achievement at the American Legion’s annual conference in Washington, D.C., in February 2025.

Following her graduation, Meredith plans to attend Ripon College, where she will pursue dual majors in Biology and Business. With aspirations to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from Colorado State University, Meredith aims to establish her own veterinary practice in the future.
