Hi, I'm McKeely Kemock, a 12th-grader at Laurel School in Shaker Heights, OH. I have a great passion for getting involved in the fight to combat climate change and help restore environmental justice within my communities. I chose to participate in the Fall 2023 Environmental Justice Semester to collaborate with peers and mentors, immerse myself in a unique educational experience driven by student interest, and explore new opportunities for myself to grow and learn throughout. I hope my portfolio gives you insight into the achievements I've had so far and the goals and hopes I have for the future. Lastly, in my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and volleyball, running track, writing creatively, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
The Environmental Justice Semester (EJS) at Laurel is a semester-long, academic program open to Tenth and Eleventh Grade girls from any public, private, parochial, or charter school in Northeast Ohio. The learner-centered Semester takes place on Laurel’s 150-acre Butler Campus in Russell Township, Ohio, which offers a natural space with terrestrial, aquatic, and agricultural ecosystems for student changemakers to devise solutions for the ecological and social challenges facing urban Cleveland, a rustbelt city grappling with many environmental and social justice issues.
