Riley Ennis is a junior at Sacred Heart Academy (SHA) and a proud HHLA alum from the class of 2012. Riley credits HHLA with building her a strong foundation both academically and personally. Since graduating from Heuser, Riley has grown into a bright and outgoing young woman. Throughout her academic career she has pushed hard to excel in hopes of achieving her goal to be an Anesthesiologist. She continues to thrive at SHA where she was accepted into the International Baccalaureate / AP program. In addition to her academics, she is also a SHA Ambassador, a member of the Jean Frazier Leadership program, a member of the SHA swim team, and the Founder and President of the SHA ASL club.
Riley is also a member of the SHA KYA and KUNA youth government clubs where she had the honor of being on a team that created a bill to mandate AED equipment and training at all schools in the Commonwealth. A bill that not only passed the mock KYA legislator, but also passed through the state congress with overwhelming bipartisan support making it a new law in Kentucky.
Outside of school, Riley enjoys hanging out with friends and spending time with her family at the lake. When she isn’t in the water at the lake, she is in the pool either swimming for the neighborhood team or helping coach younger kids as a member of the St. Patrick swim team student coaching staff. She also spends time volunteering as a Norton Children’s Hospital Ambassador and as a summer camp counselor at HHLA! She loves being able to come back to Heuser and spend time with the children where she hopes to be a positive role model.
