Two Highline students have been selected as Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce students of the month.

Kyle Andrews, a senior at Highline High School, is known for his energy, enthusiasm, and an aspiration for excellence. He has been a very active leader, holding the offices of Sophomore Class Vice President, Junior Class President, Senior Class Treasurer, and National Honor Society Treasurer. Kyle is both a creative songwriter and a talented musician. In addition, he was Co-Captain of the tennis team and was honored by his peers when they voted him Homecoming King. He is also a very talented tutor, generously helping many students achieve academic success. His honesty, sincerity, and dependability, combined with modesty and humility sum up to a truly exceptional young man.

From Mount Rainier High School is senior Alyssa Lew. Alyssa is involved in myriad activities and is considered a remarkable student and an outstanding leader. She is a full International Baccalaureate diploma candidate, which means she is part of a very rigorous college-level academic program. She is the president of the DECA marketing club at Mount Rainier and has qualified to compete at the state career development conference in two separate categories. Alyssa is committed to excellence; when she takes on a task she always puts forth her best effort. Teacher Frank Brandt says of Alyssa, “In my 10 years of teaching, I cannot remember ever having a student so gifted in such a wide range of activities.”
