'Amazing Kid' Publishing First Novel: Homer Glen-Lockport Star Student
We all know students who excel in academic, fine arts or volunteer service. Here's one local resident who is having an impact.
HOMER GLEN-LOCKPORT, IL — Star Students are found in classrooms, on concert and theater stages and at debate lecterns, and out in the community doing good things to make life better for all of us.
Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize Star Students, and we’re working to tell the stories of these outstanding kids to their neighbors.
This submission comes from Ginny Gleason who nominated her son, Josiah, a student in Homer Glen-Lockport, who will soon be publishing his first novel.

Why do you believe the star local student should be recognized?
He is an amazing kid and always includes everyone. When students sit alone in lunch, he sits with them or invites them to sit with him. He also wrote a novel, “The Theatrical Tragedy” that got picked up by a publishing company and is in the editing phase. It will be released June 2023.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star local student?
He is a leader and a kind human being.
