It has been several weeks now since the naming of our newest high school.

There were passionate points of view on all sides of the naming process, but now that the name is chosen, itŽ’s time for us to put those views aside and support our new school name.

The dedication will be next fall and it will be a joyous occasion. How many times can you recall a new high school opening in your city ŽÐŽÐ a new place of learning, athletics and culture?

This new school will be a microcosm of Federal Way, and with over 80 different languages spoken in our school district classrooms, it shows that Federal Way is rapidly becoming a microcosm of the world.
