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.

Let the honors rain down.

The Coupeville High School Class of 2022, which endured through a pandemic which altered public schooling for two-plus years, exits this weekend.

But, before graduation arrives — 1 PM Saturday, June 11 at Mickey Clark Field — school officials and community members are hailing all the Wolves have achieved.

During a virtual ceremony, CHS seniors received awards and scholarships, with the Class of 2022 bagging an impressive amount of financial help for college or trade training.

Morgan Stevens received the CHS Senior Service Award, an honor in which students are nominated by fellow students, before being voted on by faculty.

Good citizenship and sportsmanship are considered, as well as “aiding other students unselfishly, (and) serving faculty, administration and their school in an unselfish manner.”

Brian Casey and Noelle Daigneault were also named as Lion’s Club Students of the Year.

Brian Casey was a strong performer on the field and in the classroom.
