Leading, inspiring and changing lives


The 2023 Women of Distinction are inspirational leaders whose vision, dedication and compassion improve our community. We will introduce each honoree before our luncheon on May 12.

SARAH MARTENS

Senior

Muskego High School


Sarah Martens is a hardworking straight-A senior at Muskego High School. She is a National Merit Scholarship finalist and a member of numerous national honor societies. Sarah was also awarded a golden key from the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. She’s described by her educators as the definition of commitment and endless drive.


Sarah believes in perseverance, humility, achievement and demonstrates commitment to excellence. She takes the most rigorous academic courses her high school offers, and holds boundless respect for educators, coaches and veterans.


As an athlete, Sarah has qualified four times for the state meet in cross country and track, has been nominated for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Runner of the Year, has received multiple Scholar Athlete awards, and most recently she was a member of the Division 1 State Champion cross-country team.


In the community, Sarah organized Muskego High School students to bake, decorate and package more than 200 Christmas cookies for women in a local shelter.


In addition, Sarah participates in the Civil Air Patrol, the Cadet Advisory Council, and volunteers with Soldier’s Angels, which sends letters of thanks and support to active-duty military members. In these roles, she’s directly responsible for leading bi-weekly meetings and mentoring new cadets.


Sarah plans to attend a military academy to continue her servant leadership as an officer. In her own words, she “wants to protect the freedom and democracy of America that so many have sacrificed for.”
