Congratulations to Nathan Gahan, September’s Soroptimist Student of the Month! Nathan is a senior at Sedro-Woolley High School. He is the son of Tracy Gahan and has two older siblings. After graduation, Nathan plans to attend lineman apprenticeship school - something that his involvement in CTE courses has helped prepare him for. He says “the overall experience in all the CTE classes I’ve taken has made me more comfortable with what I’ll be doing in the future.“

Nathan is a Varsity athlete who plays football for the Cubs, wrestles, and runs track - making him a Triple Threat athlete at SWHS. His interests include outdoor activities such as hiking and watersports. He also attends a youth group with his fellow football teammates every Wednesday.

Nate, congratulations on all your achievements and this well-deserved recognition!

Larkin Allen has been named Rotary Student of the month for September. She is the daughter of Donee and Wesley Allen.

Larkin has maintained a GPA of 3.89 while being highly involved at Sedro-Woolley High School throughout her high school years. She is a member of the National Honor Society, HOSA, is part of NHS Leadership, and was an assistant in sports medicine for three years. She was also on Cub Crew and a junior marcher.

Outside of school, Larkin enjoys watching football, being with family and friends, spending time with her dogs, volunteering, and traveling. If she took off on a trip today, she says that Maui, Hawaii would be her first destination! She has also gained valuable work experience in the medical field, getting her Certified Nursing Assistant license and volunteering at a local care center. She currently works as a Starbucks barista part-time.

After graduation, Larkin plans to attend college to pursue a medical career, ultimately becoming a Physician Assistant in family medicine.

Her favorite quote comes from Taylor Swift:
“No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.”

Larkin, Sedro-Woolley High School is a better place for the time that you have invested here. We are so excited for what’s next for you. Congratulations!

School Board Member Michelle Moser spent Thursday morning visiting classrooms at Sedro-Woolley High School and State Street High School. She asked questions, observed lessons, and got a firsthand look at student learning—many students were curious about what a school board member actually does!

We appreciate all of our school board members for their time and dedication to our students and schools.
