Jonah Goldstein ’27 Named 2026 JA 18 Under 18 Honoree

We are proud to share that Jonah Goldstein ’27 has been named a 2026 honoree in Junior Achievement of Central Maryland’s 18 Under 18 program.

Selected as one of just 18 students across the region, Jonah is recognized for his entrepreneurship, leadership and community impact. Now in its fourth year and presented in partnership with Baltimore magazine, the program celebrates students who are reshaping their communities through innovation, service and initiative.

At Boys’ Latin, Jonah is an engaged and thoughtful leader. He is active in the One Love Club, Game Day Club and Jewish Awareness Club, and has participated in the Ben Cardin Scholarship Program, including advocacy efforts in Washington, D.C. Across each of these experiences, he demonstrates maturity, empathy and a commitment to strengthening the community around him.

Following his older brother’s pediatric stroke, Jonah helped channel that experience into action — playing a key role in launching a nonprofit organization, clothing brand and lacrosse team to raise awareness and funds for pediatric stroke victims. His ability to turn challenge into purpose reflects the courage, compassion and initiative we strive to cultivate in every Laker.

We celebrate Jonah and this well-deserved recognition.
