The Washington Student Achievement Council and the Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP) recently announced that four seniors from Redmond High School have been named Washington Scholars in recognition of their academic achievements, leadership and community service. In addition, two district students were named Washington Scholar Alternates.
A total of 196 Washington high school seniors have been honored as Washington Scholars or Washington Scholar Alternates. The Student Achievement Council conducts the Washington Scholars selection process in cooperation with AWSP.
The program annually honors the accomplishments of three high school seniors from each of the state’s 49 legislative districts — a total of 147 students. A Washington Scholar Alternate also is designated from each district. Here are the honorees from Lake Washington School District:
• Aron Daw – scholar – 48th District – Redmond High School
• Meg Holtzinger – scholar – 48th District – Redmond High School
• Arthi K. Narayanan – scholar – 45th District – Redmond High School
• Brandon C. Theurer – scholar – 45th District – Redmond High School
• Katherine A. Roberts – alternate – 45th District – Lake Washington High School
• Sean J. Beecroft – alternate – 48th District – Redmond High School
Washington Scholar candidates, who represent the top 1 percent of graduating seniors, are initially nominated by high school principals based on academic, leadership and community-service accomplishments. Final recipients are then selected by a 36-member committee of representatives from public and private high schools, state educational agencies and public and private four-year colleges and universities.
