The Lititz Rotary Club recognized Leah Richie as Student of the Month at their regular meeting on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, held at the Lititz Springs Inn. Leah, a senior at Warwick High School, lives in Lititz with her parents, Dave and Courtney Richie.
Leah is an outstanding student who has earned placement on the Distinguished Honor Roll throughout her high school career. During the past cross-country season, she was also recognized as a Senior Scholar Athlete.
Leah is a member of the National Honor Society and currently serves as President of the National Spanish Honor Society. At Warwick High School, she also serves as a Teaching Assistant for science teacher Mrs. Krista Roe. Leah has expressed a deep appreciation for the work teachers do and enjoys helping to lighten their workload while supporting classroom activities.
In addition to her academic commitments, Leah is actively involved in athletics. She served as a captain of the Warwick cross-country team this past fall and is currently a captain of the track and field team. Earlier this month, she earned a first-place finish in the girls’ 400-meter dash at the Jeff Bradley Invitational. Leah is also involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and participates in the Warrior Advisory Council.
Outside of school, Leah works at Spring Haven Show Stables in Lititz, where she helps care for the many horses at the facility. She has been riding horses since she was 10 years old and has developed a strong passion for working with them. Leah enjoys building connections with the horses as well as forming relationships with their owners.
Looking ahead, Leah plans to attend West Chester University, where she intends to study exercise science and psychology with the goal of becoming a sports psychologist. She also hopes to continue competing in track and cross-country at the collegiate level. Leah is passionate about athletics and hopes that her future career will allow her to help athletes navigate the challenges and experiences she has encountered in her own sports journey.
In her free time, Leah enjoys spending time with family and friends and being outdoors, especially hiking in national parks.
The Lititz Rotary Club is proud to recognize Leah Richie for her academic achievements, leadership, athletic accomplishments, and dedication to her school and community.
