She is very excited to get to continue playing her two favorite sports. Janessa will be getting her associate in applied science and then transferring to a dental hygiene school.

Fun High School memory: All my days in high school were pretty great, one of my favorites was my last homecoming.

Van Micah Reynolds

By far my favorite memory from these past four years was my junior year when I performed in my last major play before our old director Mrs. Hornback retired from her position. All the wonderful experiences I acquired since the very moment I decided to join Drama Club came to a bittersweet end that night when we performed the last night of Pajama Game. Drama Club was always a place of camaraderie and kinship for me and many others from rehearsals to the after parties that Mrs. Hornback graciously hosted. These are the experiences from high school that I will always look upon most fondly.

I will finish my AA at Grays Harbor College this next Fall quarter after which I will attend Eastern Washington University where I am hoping to be accepted into their two year Social Work BA degree program with a Minor in Hospital administration.  I then plan to continue at Eastern to earn my Masters, MSW Degree, with their one year program they offer. I hope to graduate in 2024. Then I hope to start a career in a hospital setting. My final long range career goal is to have my own private practice helping people with their life struggles.
