Several students from Federal Way Public Schools were recently recognized as Washington Scholars.
The Washington Scholars designation is a prestigious recognition for our state’s most exemplary high school students, celebrating excellence in academic achievement, leadership, and community activities during their high school careers.
Washington Scholars status does not include a monetary scholarship. The Washington Student Achievement Council has announced that the following students are Washington Scholars for 2015 in Federal Way:
• Decatur High School: McKell, Jared L.; Varkey, Ruth. (Decatur has three students who qualified; the third does not wish to be named publicly, according to the district).
• Federal Way High School: Ernesto, Morfin Montes de Oca A.; Gabert, Tess M.; Hayashi, Thomas F.; Leung, Jasmine C.
• Todd Beamer High School: Bartel, Alexander; Cook, Julia; Kim, Julia; Rogers, Madison Adele; Scott, Analee Sun Hee
• Thomas Jefferson High School: Clay, Jacinta M.; Huber, Christina E.; Kim, Gunho J.; Yun, Alyssa J.
Scholars will receive a Washington Scholars award certificate and congratulatory letter from Gov. Jay Inslee. The governor will proclaim June as Washington Scholars Month.
