In addition, we want to pay tribute

experiences and were inspirational in the lives

Our Graduates of Distinction will
serve as positive role models for current and future
students. It is important for students to see how
impressive their future accomplishments, both personal
and professional, can be to our community and society.
As we celebrate with our distinguished
graduates and staff members, we also bring honor
to Walla Walla Public Schools. Quality education
is our past, present and future.
