Howell High School Senior Survivor

$290,152.28 officially delivered to LCAS today! Thank you Highlander Nation and Class of 2026! 💚💛🐶

On behalf of the HHS Senior Survivor team, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who supported this year’s Senior Survivor competition benefiting the Livingston County Animal Shelter. Because of the incredible generosity of our students, families, staff, alumni, local business sponsors, and community members, Senior Survivor 2026 raised an astounding $288,291.36 for the Livingston County Animal Shelter.

We would like to congratulate this year’s top junior and middle school fundraisers:

Top Junior Survivor: Lucy VanderPlas – Team Fauer Ranger
Top Middle Survivor: Aiden Counts – Team I Noah Guy

And congratulations to our 2026 Ultimate Survivor, Raleigh Leppek of Team Epic Leppek!

Over 19 years, Senior Survivor has become one of Howell High School’s most meaningful traditions, raising nearly $1.9 million for charities across Michigan. This year’s success would not have been possible without the dedication of our Student Council, film crew, staff survivors, survivor parents, volunteers, sponsors, and every person who contributed in any way. Your generosity will make a lasting impact, helping provide care, shelter, medical support, and second chances for thousands of animals in our community.

Thank you again for making Senior Survivor 2026 such an unforgettable success. We will see you next year for YEAR 20!

Go Highlanders!
