Gehrig is an active member of the National Honor Society, which requires high grades and many hours of community service. She has a part-time job, and she regularly babysits and housesits for families around town.

In her free time, Gehrig enjoys attending concerts and hanging out with her family and friends. She loves summertime and being outside as much as possible.

Looking ahead, Gehrig has big plans for the future and a word of advice to all.

“After high school, I plan to pursue a career in the medical field and am currently evaluating college acceptances to determine the best fit for my long-term goals,” she shared. “Something I’d like people to remember is that being kind takes so little time. Just a small effort to make one person’s day a little brighter can have a lasting impact.”

Congratulations to Paige for this recognition from Althoff Catholic High School!
