Paducah Tilghman High School junior Madelyn Boling has been selected as a member of the 2026-27 Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) Student Advisory Group and to represent the KHSAA at the National Federation of State High School Association Student Leadership Summit on July 14-17 in Indianapolis. 

Sixteen student-athletes from across the Commonwealth of Kentucky have been selected for the Student Advisory Group. Madelyn will be the first student from Paducah Tilghman High School to represent this region on the panel.

The Student Advisory Group focuses on relevant and contemporary issues affecting today’s students in education-based athletics and performing arts.

The program is designed to help students hone their leadership abilities and teach them how to effectively influence and lead their peers in a positive manner.

She’s also a PTHS Student Ambassador and member of Concordia A Capella Ensemble, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Future Business Leaders of America, Beta Club, and NHS. She’s an active member of Immanuel Baptist Church and is employed by The Dirt Road.
