In my free time, I enjoy creating and trying new things!
Eli Olcott

I was Captain of the Lexington Soccer Team, got on the U.S. National Futsal Team, was part of Lex STEM Youth Group, created my own custom newsletter and video game (which got banned by the school), I liked Barbie’s soundtrack a little too much, and I have recently gotten into rock climbing.

I am the former captain of various STEM clubs at LHS (envirothon, science olympiad, ocean sciences bowl), student researcher, and past team member and current mentor of the US Earth Science Olympiad Team. I spend nearly all of my free time outside from hiking, climbing and running to building random shenanigans.

Hi, I'm Jason, I'm a rising freshman at UMass Amherst majoring in computer science and philosophy. Throughout my time at LHS, I had a lot of fun exploring different career paths, looking for ways to combine my interests with my skills. In my free time, I like working out and playing video games.
Isabel Li
Hi! I’m Isabel, a rising freshman at Harvard majoring in neuroscience.
