The HPUMP Alumni Spotlight ☀️
Emma Blazek HPUMP Alumni 2012
Emma Blazek is graduating from Soddy Daisy High School in the top 10% of her class, earning both Honors and Distinction.
A dedicated four-year volleyball player, Emma also stepped into leadership this past year as head coach for Daisy Elementary’s 4th and 5th grade volleyball team—bringing encouragement, skill, and confidence to younger athletes.
She is a member of the National Honor Society and has served as co-president of the SDHS Yearbook team for the past two years, helping shape and document her school’s memories with creativity and care.
In the fall, Emma will attend Chattanooga State to pursue a degree in Radiologic Technology, supported by the Tennessee Promise and HOPE Lottery Scholarship. She has already applied to work at the Chattanooga State Child Development Center outside of her class schedule, with a goal of continuing to invest in young children the way she once was invested in at HPUMP.
Emma is a creative problem solver and an out-of-the-box thinker—qualities her family attributes in part to her early childhood experience at HPUMP, where her foundation for curiosity, confidence, and connection began.
