New this year, we created slide shows for four of the Renton School District senior graduations. Look at the center fold of today’s newspaper (June 18). I took photos for the Renton High School graduation, but our photographer Charles Cortes took the remaining photos.
The three comprehensive high schools graduated Tuesday, June 15 at Kent’s ShoWare Center.
“This is what it’s all about,” said Superintendent Mary Alice Heuschel. “Some of these kids have overcome some amazing challenges to get here.”
One school after the other occupied the space. In a way it forced a comparison of the schools and their individual characteristics, struggles and values.
“One of the nice things is it brings the district together as a whole,” Heuschel said.
