Ivy Yetter
Wallenpaupack Area High School
Ivy Yetter, a graduate of Wallenpaupack Area High School, was awarded the 2026 Lackawaxen River Conservancy Scholarship. Ivy received her award of $500 at the Senior Awards Assembly on June 12th. She will attend Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pennsylvania, where she will major in Environmental Sciences in preparation for a career in environmental conservation.
Ivy excelled in a strong academic program that emphasized her two loves–science and the performing arts. She earned High Honors Gold Awards in grades 10, 11 and 12 as well as induction into the National Honor Society. Her selection to serve on the Executive Council of the student government attests to her academic strengths and leadership ability, as well as the respect she earned from WAHS faculty and fellow students.
In her scholarship application essay, Ivy expressed a deep concern. “As an animal lover, I see the importance of how cows are being overproduced and poorly treated for human benefit.” The profusion of methane emissions and their impact on water supply are pressing issues for Ivy. She believes that everyone needs to act. “If everyone limits their beef consumption, it could make a big difference.”
