The committee has changed the name several times, now calling it "High School Student Recognition Program". The format has been changed to place it under program time now, combining subjects into 2-3 per programs and doing 3 per year. The aim is to give the students the time needed to honor them correctly.

Music:

BHS – Maxwell Suwarno (singing) ( Host: Kim Perry)

Sehome – Elaine Mueller (singing) (Host: Arlie Norman)

Squalicum – Jacob Lann (cello) (Host: John Pedlow)

Each performed a short piece.

Options – Kitara Fox (Host: Tom Grinstad)

Squalicum – Lukas Nickelson (Host: Jefferey Garrett)

Note: Your reporter received a one to three-page resume on each student. The contents of each were generally so extensive and overwhelming that even to share highlights would be too lengthy to merit inclusion. Suffice it to say that each individual was eminently qualified to receive recognition today. We hope the students felt properly honored. These young people should have recognition for their accomplishments.
