Way to Go Scotty!

Sorry this post is long over due.....

My brother Scott graduated from Columbia River High School, my former high school, this last Monday. We are very proud of him for accomplishing one of the first important steps in becoming an adult.

Not only did Scotty graduate from River, he ALSO graduated from Clark College. CRHS offers a program for juniors and seniors called Running Start, which allows students in high school to take college courses and get college credit.

Scott was able to receive his Associates Degree from Clark College. What an accomplishment... and did I mention he graduated at 17? With an August birthday he is one of the youngest in his class. Scotty has done very well in school so far and plans on continuing his education by attending Central Washington State University this fall.

We are so excited that he made the decision to pursue his education further and we wish him the best of luck. We love you Scotty, sorry we couldn't be there in person to support you!

Congratulations Scotty!

Yup, he's worked hard for it. Made sacrifices most his age don't realize. Missing a big part of HS was hard for him but hopefully, in the fall, when he's at Central he will KNOW it was WORTH it!
Thanks for your support!
