They call him “The K-Force” because since he had arrived at Lake Quinault HS, he has brought a new & refreshing eagerness to make life the best it can be. He’s the modern-day Grizzly Adams loves to hunt & fish in his spare time, while in the classroom he hits the books hard!

Cecilia consistently demonstrates exemplary behavior, kindness, and respect toward both her teachers and classmates. Her great grades and willingness to work hard make her a wonderful role model in our school. Congratulations, Cecilia, on Student of the Month. Well-deserved!

I am so happy for Bella! She is my shop intern this year, and she is such a hard worker. She helps me keep the kids on task and safe. I was completely impressed when she built a launcher for the CO2-powered cars that we built.  Congratulations Bella on student of the month!

Oly “The Bear Man” Merrill is a throwback to a better day. He is easy-going. He’s easy to talk to & work with. He is the type of guy that if you treat him well, he treats you the same way back. I have really enjoyed having him in class. ~Mr. Crater

Blake is a fine example of what it means to be an ELK. He is kind and respectful to everyone around him at all times. He shows compassion and care in everything he does, no matter how big or small. Blake is an all around great hu-man. I would call him an “old soul”.~ Ms.

Congratulations, Oscar, on being voted the student of the month by all of the staff!  ~ Mrs. Mabey

The ROOGE is one student that what you see is what you get. He is always sincere. I don’t think there is a mean bone in his body. I really have enjoyed Ruger Nelson in my classes this year. He has pushed himself every day for Reading Time in my classes & has improved his vocabulary skills. ~ Mr. Crater
