Rainier Scholars Cohort 6 Graduation Speech

A phase of a long journey just ended!

On September 5, 2008, forty-nine twelve and thirteen-year-old kids out of sixty highly selected students made it to the end of the 14-month academic phase of Rainier Scholars, the most demanding and rigorous phase of the program. This phase started on summer of 2007. The kids eventually made it to the best programs and schools in the area and in Canada. Another phase of the long journey has just started!

The kids were asked to vote for a faculty member and a student to give a speech in their Rites of Passage Graduation Ceremony held at Campion Ballroom at Seattle University. Miss Johnson was the faculty member voted to give a speech. This student speaker got 40 out of 49 votes. Like about 18 other kids in Cohort VI, she received all four honor roll nominations for Summer I, Fall, Spring and Summer II. She was also consistently on the honors list at St. George School, her old school. She got accepted at Lakeside School on her 7th grade. She was selected for the McCoy-Livingston Scholarship for Servant Leaders for the 2008-2009 school year at Lakeside. Great job!

Go Kiddo!
Go Cohort VI!
Go Rainier Scholars!
