A Signal Mountain High School senior, Aubrey Lynch, has been nominated by 30 Lions Clubs in Eastern Tennessee as Leo of the Year to the Lions Club International organization. Lynch is president of the Signal Mountain High School Leos Club, which has 335 members. Leos Clubs, which are affiliated with Lions Clubs, perform projects and services for the communities they represent as well as assisting in major events such as Wreaths Across America and the Iron Man Triathlons. There are 2,700 Leos Clubs across the world, with 300,000 members.
Lynch is a member of the SMMHS state champion cross country, track and NICA cycling clubs. She placed 7th in the Ironman 70.3 Florida event and received the 2023 Youth in Government Outstanding Bill Award and 2024 International Baccalaureate Principled Award. She has also been accepted to attend both the US Naval Academy and the US Air Force Academy, with her choice to come later this spring.
Lynch says that being a Leo has taught her time management, organization, critical thinking, decision-making under pressure and spread-sheet skills, as well as being a team player with a “service before self” attitude. She leads from the front, participating in most of the Club’s activities.
The SMMHS Leos Club is one of the largest in the Eastern United States. It participates through member volunteers for Blankets for Ill Children In-Hospital, high school recycling, Kidsight Eye Screening, pop-up eye clinics, three holiday barbecues for fundraisers for charities, blood donors, Lions Shred Days and Meals of Hope for the hungry.
In 2021, the Signal Mountain Lions sponsored Leos president Chase Post for Leo of the Year and he came in 11th in the United States.
