As the 2020- 21 school year is winding down, it is important to reflect on the challenges and triumphs this year has brought. This year we have had many unprecedented difficulties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, safety protocols, and our required quarantine. Our students have displayed perseverance throughout these challenges and we are very proud of all of their efforts.

Federal Way High School’s Class of 2021 had many wins and triumphs this year, some of them were:

• Five valedictorians with a perfect cumulative 4.0 GPA completing the most challenging courses offered;
• One ACT 6 full scholarship award recipient;
• Four Washington State Opportunity Scholarship recipients;
• One Dell Scholar scholarship award recipient;
• Multiple D1, D2, and other athletic scholarships in volleyball, football, softball, soccer, and baseball;
• 100% of the AVID senior class was accepted to a university;
• Federal Way High School is also an AVID National Demonstration School and AVID National Site of Distinction;
• Air Force JROTC Cyber Patriot Team placed third in WA State;
• 20 students that earned the CambridgeAICE Diploma;
• Federal Way High School is also a Cambridge International School Demonstration Center; and
• The Class of 2021 received over $3.1 million dollars in total grants and scholarships

I want to thank all of our students, staff, and families for all of your hard work and dedication. Federal Way High School is a great school!
