Seniors share plans at public meeting; college, careers and scholarships top themes
Summary
Several graduating seniors made short presentations to the board describing plans (EWU, WSU, Big Bend, Columbia Basin College), extracurricular backgrounds (ASB, FFA, band), and college-financing strategies including scholarships and FAFSA.
At the start of the meeting, seniors gave short "high school and beyond" presentations to the board and audience. Ashton Garwood opened by saying, "My name is Ashton Garwood, and this is my senior presentation," and discussed interests in paleontology and college choices including EWU and Columbia Basin. Other seniors highlighted band, FFA, ASB leadership and trade-program plans.
Students spoke about scholarship and work plans to fund college, upcoming orientation and graduation dates, and postsecondary goals ranging from WSU Pullman (cybersecurity) to Spokane Falls Community College (welding/graphic design). Board members asked brief follow-up questions and applauded the students' presentations; the segment included community recognition of student accomplishments.
