Antigo Teen Elks

Entering his senior year, Maverick found the importance in improving his own mental health, stepping into the year with a renewed sense of self. He had always maintained strong grades and a positive reputation, and decided to give back by tutoring students who were struggling in various subjects.

Tutoring became a meaningful experience—one that helped Maverick learn how to guide others toward understanding, revisit past material, and make new connections between old lessons and current coursework. It strengthened both his academic foundation, communication skills, as well as transforming his confidence. This opportunity has led to significant academic and personal growth, preparing Maverick for a more successful and fulfilling life beyond high school.

Hailey Burhop has been selected as the Elk Teen of the Month for November 2025 and is now eligible for Teenager of the Year. She is the daughter of Heather and Brian Burhop. 

For Hailey, leadership is not about authority—it’s about being someone others rely on. Through her roles as tennis team captain, vice president of the National Honor Society, and president of the drama club, she has learned that true leadership comes from supporting and uplifting those around her. As tennis captain, she discovered the importance of resilience and teamwork, always encouraging her teammates whether she won or lost. NHS strengthened her sense of responsibility and gave her confidence as she helped organize service projects and work alongside peers committed to giving back. In drama club, her passion for music and performing allowed her to guide others, assist with auditions, and create a welcoming environment. 

Across all her roles, Hailey has grown into a leader who values community, compassion, and encouragement—qualities she hopes to carry forward as she continues helping others reach their full potential.
