Renton School Board honors students for achievement, leadership, service

Every year the Renton School Board selects 12 “outstanding seniors” from each of Renton’s high schools.

The board members honor seniors at school board meetings in the spring.

Students are selected based on academic achievement, leadership, co-curricular involvement, citizenship and character, community service and contributions to their classmates and school.

Each student speaks to the board about what made them successful in school and motivated them in their personal life.

Parents and supporters attend the presentations and are recognized along with friendships with other students and “Most Inspirational” teachers as having influenced the seniors.

The recognition presentations at the school board were Renton High School, April 18; Hazen High School, May 9; Lindbergh High School, May 23 and Sartori Education Center, June 3.

The Renton Reporter will run the photo of Sartori’s outstanding seniors once they are recognized.
