Waynesburg University has selected Emily Pratt as a 2025 Leadership Award recipient. She is the daughter of Jeffrey and Sandra Pratt.
Pratt has been enrolled in Bedford High School’s university preparatory curriculum for the past four years. She is currently in the top 10 percent of her graduating class. Upon graduation, she will have earned 24 college credits in addition to her high school diploma.
Pratt is a multisport athlete, but her primary sport is softball.
“I am passionate about softball because it has taught me hard work, teamwork, endurance and perseverance,” Pratt explained. “My favorite part about softball is making forever friends and memories that I will cherish and always remember.”
Alongside academics and sports, Pratt enjoys volunteering in her church and at local community events.
“Through volunteering, I learned the value of helping others and comforting them in their time of need,” she shared.
Because of what she learned, Pratt intends to major in nursing at Waynesburg University.
