Together, we cultivated the youth of today to be the leaders of tomorrow! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all the students, teachers, alumni, community leaders, and funders who made LEAD On possible.

She hopes to work with the Montana Department of Livestock upon college graduation. When asked about her favorite high school memory, JayLee said “weekly meetings with my counselor Andy Lenon and just getting to talk about life with him.”

JayLee earned a seat in the University of Montana Western’s Natural Horsemanship Program. While working towards a Bachelor’s of Science in Natural Horsemanship, JayLee plans to also study Agricultural Business, Business Administration, and Equine Management.

The incident resulted in a traumatic brain injury and earlier this year – four years later – a screw was removed from JayLee’s skull. Despite all of this, JayLee remains a positive attitude and passionate about horses.

JayLee Payton McEwen graduated from Oasis Academy and was selected for the LEAD Forward Scholarship. In 2018, JayLee was care flighted to Reno from Fallon after being bucked off a horse while team roping.

When asked about his favorite high school memory, James said “State swimming with CCHS! It was great to get to know my teammates better!”

With the goal of “helping people that have received solid-cell transplants,” James plans to study biochemistry at Southwestern University where he will also be a member of the university swim team.

James worked with the mayor, civic leaders, local hospitals, and his school to organize and host a community outreach event. On the national level, James has delivered speeches for the National Organization for Rare Disorders and National Hemophilia Association.

When the “military kid who has lived all around the United States” moved to Fallon and discovered “there was no programming for those dealing with rare inherited bleeding disorders,” he knocked on Mayor Tedford’s door.

James M. Cosman graduated from Oasis Academy and was selected for the LEAD On Scholarship. Due to his personal experience, James has become a local, state and national advocate for people with rare disorders including hemophilia.
