Student Spotlight

Ansley Lagos, daughter of Edson and Lori Lagos, is a senior at Cocalico High School. Ansley is very involved at the school with National Honor Society, LEO Club, and a prior participation in the school choir and band. She has taken a full course load in her high school career that includes Advanced Placement Government and Politics, Honors Biology, Anatomy, and Sociology through Dual Enrollment at Harrisburg Area Community College.

Ansley wants to become an Occupational Therapist, which is what led her to apply to Duquesne, Scranton, and the University of Pittsburgh. She is currently deciding where she will commit.

Outside of school, Ansley stays active in her community. She spends parts of her week working at the Keystone Villa Retirement Home as a server. Ansley also gives up her time to volunteer and tutor individuals with Down Syndrome at Gigi’s Playhouse in Lancaster. While she may have a busy schedule, she also has visions of where she would love to go in her adult life, and with her hard work, she deserves it!

If Ansley could go anywhere in the world, it would be Hawaii. Maybe while she’s there she will find time to do some things she enjoys in her life! This includes thrift shopping or pulling her flute out of storage to practice! Since she’s no longer in the band, the latter might prove to ruin the peaceful sounds of Hawaii, but as one of her idols Bob Ross says, “We don’t make mistakes, just happy accidents.”
