Onalaska teachers Kaylene Kenny and Tom Phimister helped 100% of Ony graduating seniors be accepted to college. The "Senior Success" class that they taught allowed seniors to apply for college, build resumes, write letters and prepare themselves for the transfer from high school to post-secondary life.
This is such a major accomplishment that the Seattle Times picked up the story and ran it on their front page on June 5, 2017. The Olympian also picked up the story.
"A daily class that helps prepare high-school students for work and college could be one big reason why all 43 seniors at a small high school in Lewis County were accepted to college this year." Seattle Times, June 5, 2017 4:00am
