Sequim grads-to-be get $2.6 million boost

When it comes to paying for her education, Sophia Carter wants to shoulder the load.
“I want to do medical school and I felt like I should pay for it on my own,” said the Sequim High School senior. “But I don’t have $400,000 to pay for my education.”
Last year, one of her close friends joined the Army to help pay for school, a path Carter figured would divert from her own goals — until she did a little research.
Last week, along with dozens of Sequim High classmates, she accepted an Army National Guard ROTC scholarship worth up to $155,000 and a $38,000 scholarship to attend Whitworth College in Spokane.
“I can serve my country and I wouldn’t have to compromise my dreams,” Carter said.
Sequim graduates-to-be complete their high school careers at Friday’s commencement ceremony but many of them are well on their way to undergraduate degrees and beyond at colleges and universities after receiving more than $2.6 million in academic, athletic and military scholarships.
Those scholarships were announced June 8 at the school’s annual assembly.
About $350,000 came from local service clubs, education groups and individual donors — a school record, said Shawn Langston, Sequim High School principal. Sequim students received scholarships from more than 65 such organizations from local to state and national and, in the case of the Soroptimist group, international.
Many of the local groups based their scholarship awards on Sequim students’ scholarship notebooks, a binder full of their academic, athletic and community service activities.
“These scholarship notebooks are not the norm — it’s not something that’s done everywhere,” Langston said.
When Sequim High students graduate to SHS alumni Friday evening, they’ll be led by six valedictorians boasting 4.0 grade-point-averages: Sara Hankins, Rachel Hardy, Audrey Lichten, Amy McAndie, Emily Reis and Lucas Shores.
Hankins, a State Scholar Award winner, will attend Harvard University in the fall with more than $200,000 in scholarships while Hardy, an All-American Academic-Athlete, plans to attend the University of Oklahoma.
