STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 7 months, 4 weeks AGO
Zander Leasher
Zander Leasher is a busy young man.
In June, Leasher traveled to Florida to compete in the Future Business Leaders of America national competition. Before that, he was one of the main producers for Ephrata High School’s graduation production, and earlier this year he helped with the “We Are Ephrata” community forum – essentially a state of the city event.
When he’s not busy with audio-visual work for Tigervision, EHS’s media channel, Leasher volunteers as a junior firefighter at Grant County Fire District 13.
For FBLA, Leasher participates in the client service category, working to develop a mindset for customer service and business excellence.
EHS FBLA sponsor and media instructor J. Ryan Shannon said Leasher is deserving of recognition for his work ethic and dedication to community.
Leasher will graduate from EHS in 2025 and intends to make a career out of being a firefighter.
