The hard work paid off.
The Coupeville High School Class of 2024 raked in a hair over $366,000 in local scholarships alone, not counting what individual grads may have received from colleges.
That’s a testament to both the generosity of Central Whidbey residents, businesses, and organizations, and the power of what volunteering accomplishes.
A bevy of awards and scholarships were distributed Monday at a ceremony at CHS headed up by Principal Geoff Kappes.
