Jeremiah Milbry-Jean Baptiste is a Boston native who has spent his entire educational journey in Dorchester at Neighborhood House Charter School (NHCS). Growing up in the community completely shaped the person he is today. Throughout high school, Jeremiah has been involved in the Legends Volunteer Club, Track and Field, and a learning program called The Possible Zone. He has taken on numerous leadership roles at school, in an after-school program, and within his family.
As captain of the Track and Field Team, he guides and teaches teammates while encouraging them to become better athletes and individual leaders. Recently, he has been volunteering to beautify NHCS and help with new scholar program initiatives though the Legends Volunteer Club. I also worked collaboratively with his peers to design and build fun escape rooms using microbits, and servo motors through The Possible Zone. From this experience, he was able to work with people from diverse backgrounds and create something fun for the community.
Academically, Jeremiah has consistently challenged himself, achieving excellent results. He progressed from earning honors to consistently achieving high honors. While maintaining nearly a 4.0 GPA and balancing athletics with his after-school commitments, he has developed excellent discipline, organization and time management skills.
Jeremiah has grown tremendously over the years. As a child, he was more reserved and less comfortable speaking. Through his time at NHCS, he has become confident, communicative, and willing to step out of his comfort zone. This translates to his impact on the track team, where he has earned trust among his teammates and coaches and become someone people can depend on as a student leader.
Jeremiah’s experiences have helped him define who is: a dependable leader who supports others, sets a positive example, and strives to make a meaningful impact in his community.
