We are proud to recognize Nash Heo, a senior at Thomas Jefferson High School, for being named a semifinalist in the prestigious 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program!

Nash is among more than 300 Washington students and 16,000 nationwide who earned this honor by achieving one of the highest PSAT scores in the state. To advance to finalist status—an achievement 95% of semifinalists reach—Nash will submit details of his academic record, extracurriculars, and SAT scores to confirm his performance.

Nash’s accomplishments, including being a Mu Alpha Theta National Math Champion and a qualifier for the USA Junior Mathematical Olympiad, reflect our Strategic Plan’s Goal 4: Content Area Competence and Goal 5: Persistence to Graduation. Nash is a thriving scholar who has all the skills, independence, and attitude for success.

Congratulations to six of our Decatur High School scholars who are part of Future Farmers of America for their outstanding achievements at the 2024 Washington State Fair FFA Exhibition!

Our scholars showcased their dedication by cleaning, grooming, and preparing their animals for the competition. They demonstrated not only their knowledge of the species through answering questions but also their skill in proper animal handling.

Congratulations to 222 scholars from all our high schools in the 2024 graduating class who received the Seal of Biliteracy! This sets a Federal Way Public Schools record high for the most scholars to receive the Seal of Biliteracy within our district.

The Seal of Biliteracy recognizes high school graduates who have demonstrated high levels of proficiency (reading, writing, and speaking) in one or more languages in addition to high levels of proficiency in English. The Seal of Biliteracy is important because it exemplifies the dedicated work and valuable skills they will bring into their career and college experiences.
