Flushing High School senior Lily Coleman has been named the Rotary Club of Flushing’s Student of the Month for October.
Lily is an outstanding student who currently carries a 4.082 GPA and is ranked second in the Flushing High School Class of 2027. In addition to her high school coursework, she is a dual-enrolled student earning college credit and serves as one of Flushing Community Schools’ student representatives to the Board of Education.
The daughter of Walter and Tara Coleman, Lily has been highly involved throughout her time at FHS. She is a member of the Rotary Interact Club, National Honor Society, Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society, Science National Honor Society, and KEY Club. She also serves as president of Mu Alpha Theta, the school’s mathematics honor society.
Service to others has been an important part of Lily’s high school experience. Her volunteer work has included supporting SMORES, the SLO Candlewalk, Leaders and Learning, Angel Manor, the Trail of Terror, and the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan through KEY Club. She was also instrumental in starting the SUN Club at FHS, which gives students opportunities to volunteer outdoors during the fall and spring.
Lily’s accomplishments extend beyond the classroom and community. She was a member of the varsity volleyball team during her freshman and sophomore years and currently works at Squeeze the Day, where she has been employed for approximately a year and a half. Prior to that, she worked alongside her mother at Integrity Interiors.
Some of Lily’s favorite memories at Flushing High School have come through academic competition, particularly being part of the FHS team that captured the Flint Metro League Math and Science Competition Championship in consecutive years.
After graduation, Lily hopes to attend the University of Michigan to study molecular genetics, with Michigan State University also among the schools she is considering.
When she is not studying, working, volunteering, or participating in school activities, Lily enjoys working out at the YMCA, watching “Modern Family,” and, somewhat uniquely, cleaning for fun. She also enjoys traveling and hopes to someday visit Eastern Europe. Having already experienced parts of Western Europe, Lily says she is especially interested in experiencing different cultures and everyday life beyond the traditional tourist destinations. Germany currently ranks as her favorite country she has visited.
Lily also credits FHS science teacher Lauren Quigley as having a significant impact on her high school experience. Lily appreciates Mrs. Quigley’s understanding of her demanding workload, her willingness to continually challenge her, and her support of Lily’s future goals. Although Lily is no longer enrolled in Mrs. Quigley’s Advanced or AP Chemistry classes, she still makes a point to visit her classroom each day.
Flushing High School is proud to congratulate Lily Coleman on being selected as the Rotary Club of Flushing’s October Student of the Month and recognizes her exceptional academic achievement, leadership, service, and commitment to the Flushing community.
