Dear Sam,

We inadvertently left Sam Walker out of the 2022 ceremony, along with the donors who have awarded him scholarships. Let us pay tribute:

​

If you attend VHS you can’t miss the tall guy who plays on and has been captain of half its sports teams.  Sam Walker is that guy.  His academic record shows he is great in every subject but it is history that he most enjoys and factors into a desire to study it or political science in college. Outside of school, the important elements in Sam’s life are his family, animals, playing piano, anything outdoors and travel.  But a lot of things come back to sports for Sam.  He has volunteered countless hours for youth baseball so others can engage in a game he loves. Sam, your activities, drive and desire to understand the connections between the past and the future are richer because you are a person who values treating others with kindness.  We applaud you.  Congratulations on receiving the Harbor School Board of Trustees, Vashon Heritage Museum, and Vashon Youth Baseball & Softball Scholarships.
