“I would love the superpower to create any object because I could create all the tools I would need to go into the automotive industry instead of having to buy them all or I could just create the tool when I need it,” Evan says.

Evan plans to go to Spokane Community College for an associate’s degree in automotive technology and during the second year of his degree he will work an entry level position for Porsche to hopefully get sponsored into their 23 week PTAP training and become a bronze technician. “I imagine I will be working in the Spokane Porsche dealership as a gold technician in 7 years,” Evan writes.

“The piece of advice I would give to younger students would be to print out a packet of all the scholarships you're going to apply to and fill them all out together - they have very similar questions.”

Congratulations, Evan! We’re so excited for you to pursue your dreams!

“In 40 years, the class of 2026 will remember the small class size and good friend groups,” Ben writes.

Ben will be going to Middlebury College in Vermont this fall and skiing on the nordic ski team. In 7 years, “I might be trying to pursue my pro skiing career.”

Ben’s advice for younger students: “It goes by really fast!”

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors, Ben! Congratulations!

Helaina says, “If I were to be a season I would be spring. I love the rain and freshly bloomed flowers. The thought of spring is always happy and joyful.”

After high school Helaina plans to attend the University of Washington, and her course of study is Pre-Health Sciences towards the goal of becoming a physical therapist. In 7 years, Helaina imagines she will be freshly graduated from PT school.

Helaina writes, “One piece of advice I would offer younger students is to enjoy life and everything you love to do because you never know when it will get taken away from you.”

We’re so proud of you, Helaina! Congratulations!

Andy writes, “if I had a superpower, I'd pick time traveling, because then I could be a gnarly historian.”

After graduating, Andy will be attending Western Washington University. And in 7 years? “I picture myself being fat and happy, while hopefully making big dollars.”

Andy’s advice to younger students: “The biggest mistake one can do is to give up; results are important, but the way they are achieved, the process, is equally important... so stay disciplined.”

Congratulations, Andy! We wish you all the best!

Clyde writes, “If I could choose a superpower I would choose teleportation because I could have unlimited backcountry access anywhere in the world.”

About his future plans: “I’ll be heading to Montana State next year! While I’m still exploring my options, I’m looking forward to studying snow science next year. In 7 years, I hope to be in a place I love, doing the things I enjoy, and preferably have a good job.”

Advice for younger students? “A good GPA will help more than you think.”

Congratulations, Clyde! We’re so proud of you!

Asked about superpowers, Finn wrote, “I would love to have Pro Golfer abilities so I don’t hate golf as much, or super strength so I can finally beat Baker in arm wrestling.”

Finn plans on attending Southern Virginia University for a year to play for their D3 soccer team. Then after a year of college he is going to serve a Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In 7 years? “Absolutely no idea.”

Finn’s advice for younger students: “Make the most of the time you have, work hard and have fun. You won’t get these times back so enjoy them.”

Congratulations, Finn! We wish you all the best!

After graduation Lachlyn is going to take a gap year to continue working at the Chelan Vet Clinic and then attend Colorado State University to pursue her doctorate in veterinary medicine.

Lachlyn’s advice to younger students: “Remember to stay kind, everyone is going through their own issues, it's their first time living, too.”

Congratulations, Lachlyn! Best wishes on all your future plans!

Cade plans to attend Washington State University in pursuit of a Bachelor's degree in Economics or Pre-Law before attending Law School. Cade says, “I might try and run track but I don’t know yet; that door hasn’t closed.”

In 7 years Cade imagines himself garnering experiences from around the world and starting a lucrative business or wearing suits in a courtroom.

Cade’s advice to younger students: “Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Learn to be confident and strive to become a better person everyday. Be passionate about everything you do with a smile on your face. Seek creative outlets and participate in athletics to live a balanced lifestyle. Sometimes you have to separate yourself from your friends, look in the mirror, and through introspection figure out a way to carve your own path.”

Congratulations, Cade! We’re so proud of you!
