Dalton Ackley, Sarah Berkes, Annie Christie, Sarah Hankins, Rachel Hardy, Alice Hastings, Rachel Hughes, Karlee Johnston, Audrey Lichten, Mallory Maloney, Harrison Mitchell, Margaret Norlund, Emily Reis, David Richards, Miranda Robertson, Fallon Schneider, Lucas Shores, Brogan Vesterby, Georgia Williams and Sarah Workman. Johnston deserves special commendation as she is the first student in Sequim High School history to earn a five (the highest possible score) on the examination.

? Sequim High School is celebrating its 100th year. This school year marks the first year, 100 years ago, that Sequim had a ninth-grade class. This is a call-out to Sequim High School graduates to share their high school photographs for centennial displays. Ideally we would like to work with scanned photos but if you don’t have access to a scanner, bring your photos (with your name on them for return purposes) into the school district office and they will be scanned. Contact Loanna Torey at 582-3262, or e-mail scanned photos to ltorey@sequim.k12.wa.us.
