OHHS Class of 2013 TOP 10

By Ron Newberry Staff reporter

London Cook and Matthew Jensen tend to follow each other around.

They've known each other since sharing the same kindergarten class. They'll graduate together Monday night as members of Oak Harbor High School's Class of 2013.

After that, they're going on a post-graduation trip to Europe with some more classmates. But then their paths will veer in slightly different directions. They picked different colleges.

"We were both interested in Southern California," Cook said. "We have been for a while. His dream school was UCLA. Mine was USC." And that's where each is headed.

"We're going to be big rivals," Cook said.

Cook and Jensen are part of the Oak Harbor High School's Top 10 graduates of 2013.

Of the Top 10, one wants to become a doctor, two want to be lawyers and four are interested in being engineers.

It's a group with a heavy math and science influence. And one with accelerated goals such as Hope Crandall.

She is one of three students in Oak

Harbor's Top 10 who participated in the Running Start program through Skagit Valley College. She said the credits she earned at Skagit Valley will allow her to enter the University of Washington's electrical engineering program classified as a junior.

"I'm really interested in designing technology that's more environmentally sustainable," Crandall said.

Here's a closer look at Oak Harbor's 2013 Top 10: Madeline Mosolino

Maddy Mosolino is graduating from Oak Harbor with a perfect 4.0 grade point average and is valedictorian of the Class of 2013 along with Christina Wicker.

Mosolino is vice president of DECA and was a Top 10 finisher at the national competition in Anaheim. She was a

Congrats Lizzie,

We are all so proud of you for all you have accomplished and the beautiful woman you have become. You are amazing! Enjoy every moment,cherish every memory,and live life to the fullest everyday.

Love you always, Mom, Dad, and Chris

state DECA competitor for three years.

Mosolino is headed to the University of San Diego to go after a degree in political science, international relations or interdisciplinary humanities. She said she currently is interested in becoming an attorney and would like to go to law school on the East Coast after her undergraduate studies.

She has attended the Oak Harbor schools since kindergarten.

"I feel like we're a pretty tight senior class," she said. "I feel like the senior class as a whole is pretty united more than past years. It's nice."

Christina Wicker is a high achiever academically with a 4.0 GPA and athletically as twotime most valuable runner on the Oak Harbor cross-country team.

She is looking for continued challenges in both areas at the Massachusetts Instititute of Technology, where she plans to

run cross country and track and field and is most likely going to major in physics as part of her goal to one day become a researcher in small-particle physics.

"I like science," she said. "That (smallparticle physics) seems like to be the most interesting thing. The mechanics on that level are just so different than this level. I think it's pretty interesting. There are some really interesting new applications coming out, especially having to do with information technology. I'm hoping by the time I get a degree in that, I'll be able to apply my knowledge and just really make a contribution, I guess."

Wicker is so advanced in math that she skipped Algebra II at Oak Harbor.

"I just felt like in math classes I was just kind of getting bored," she said.

Wicker has a busy summer planned, continuing to train with her Running Unlimited Fitness running club and camping. She also is going on a family vacation to Palau.

She said she believes running has helped her with setting goals and staying fit keeps the mind fit as well.

"Exercise in general, I think helps with thinking," she said.

HOpe Crandall

Hope Crandall is graduating with a 3.98 GPA after spending much of the past two years taking classes at the Skagit Valley College Oak Harbor campus through Running Start. She is planning to attend the University of Washington, where she was directly admitted to the electrical engineering program with junior status.

She wants to become an electrical engineer who uses and develops environmentally sustainable technology.

"In electrical engineering, just the parts that go into the different products are just dangerous," she said. "They get left around and it's a really big problem right now. There are just warehouses full of old electronics that are just kind of decaying and can't be thrown away."

Crandall received a certificate of merit from the Society of Women Engineers and is a national merit recognized student. She said her high school experience was kind of weird with so much time spent off campus, but is reaping the rewards of the Running Start program.

"I'm transferring to U-Dub with most of my prerequisites done," she said.

"I decided I like engineering because it combined theory and application. You're not just doing one or the other."

www.WhiDBEYNEWSTIMES.com

He finished with a 3.98 GPA, earning 90-plus college credits while participating Jackson in the Running Start Knoll program at Skagit Valley College's Oak Harbor campus.

Knoll received the president's medal from Skagit Valley College for maintaining a 4.0 GPA there.

He said taking computer-aided design classes got him interested in civil engineering.

"I'm a math guy," he said. "I took my first couple of classes here in geometry and Algebra II, then moved on to Skagit to take calculus."

Knoll also played two years of basketball at Oak Harbor and volunteers as a coach and referee for the Oak Harbor Youth Basketball Club. He works part-time at Island Pet Center.

London Cook loaded up with seven Advanced Placement classes at Oak Harbor High School and still finished with a 3.987 GPA. He plans to study math and economics at USC but first is going to travel with a group of classmates this summer to Europe with plans to visit Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands.

Cook is a National Honor Society member and Ecology Club public relations officer.

After returning from Europe, he will continue to work at Dugualla Bay Farms, do yard work, babysit and tutor around the community.

Ally McGuire Ally learned early on that McGuire communications might be her calling in life.

"I really like people," she said. "I cannot see myself sitting for long periods of time. I need to talk."

She is continuing her education at Washington State University, where she'll pursue a degree in communications.

She would like to go into public relations.

McGuire earned a 3.98 GPA at Oak Harbor and also played volleyball all four years.

She is the public relations officer for the National Honor Society, a two-term president of the Travel Club and state competitor for DECA. On the volleyball team, she was voted most inspirational.

She remembers her gift for gab would at times draw unwanted attention.

"In elementary school, I think a few times my teacher would tell my parents during conferences that I had a talking problem," she said. "When I was deciding what I wanted to do with my life, one of the things I was really good at was talking, so maybe communications would be a good idea."

McGuire also likes to work with kids, serving as a mentor for the boys and girls club.

A lifelong Oak Harbor resident, Jackson Knoll is headed to the University of Washington to go after a bachelor's degree in civil engineering.

Wyatt Homola is headed to the University of Washington, where he has been accepted into the School of Materials Science and Engineering.

London Cook

Hope Crandall

Homola carried a 3.978 GPA at Oak Harbor and also knew how to carry musical notes.

Homola is known for his flute participation Wyatt with the Saragota Homola Chamber Orchestra and with the Fidalgo Youth Symphony and for his prowess on the alto sax in the school jazz band.

He served as Ecology Club president and for a while as Senior Class president. He recently was named one of three 10th Legislative District Washington State scholars.

He plans to study and develop biodegradable polymers, or as he calls them, fancy plastics.

His mother is former District 2 Island County Commissioner Angie Homola.

Emily Saar thrived in the classroom and on the pitching mound. As National Honor Society president, she earned a 3.971 GPA and was starting pitcher on the varsity fastpitch team the past two seasons.

Saar is planning to follow in her dad Doug Saar's footsteps and become an attorney. She is headed to his old school, Gonzaga University, where she plans to double major in economics and political science.

"He went to Gonzaga's law school," Emily said. "It just worked out that way. We're really close.

"I don't know if I want to go to law school there. I was thinking of maybe going to Seattle University."

Emily also has been a member of French Club, DECA and Link Crew in high school.

Since sixth grade, she has attended religious classes at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Oak Harbor.

She said she hopes to become involved in a few political campaigns while she studies in Spokane.

Keaton Dieter carried a 3.97 GPA at Oak Harbor and is planning to pursue a degree in electrical engineering at George Fox University in Newberg, Ore. "Sustainable energy like wind energy and solar energy is really interesting to me," Dieter said, "so there may be a future in that."

Dieter will work full-time at Whidbey Golf Club this summer before shifting his focus toward college.

"I've always just been good at math and science and love problem solving," he said, "so that kind of pushed me toward engineering."

Matthew Jensen is bound for UCLA, where he plans to major in biology, then attend medical school to become a doctor.

"I've always been interested in the field of medicine," said Jensen, who has a 3.96 GPA. "I guess saving people is sort of an overstatement.

Just helping people out. The human body has always interested me. I also really like biology.

Doctors have always been people I've looked up to."

Jensen also was an accomplished soccer player at Oak Harbor, serving as varsity team captain for three years and starting for four.

He's attended the Oak Harbor schools since kindergarten. In high school, he also was a member of the National Honor Society, Ecology Club and Key Club.

Weather forecast good for 2013 graduation ceremony

By RON NEWBERRY Staff reporter

Seasonably mild weather is forecasted for Monday night's graduation ceremony at Oak Harbor High School.

Ever since the ceremony moved outdoors to the spacious Wildcat Memorial Stadium in 2008, it hasn't rained on graduation night, but weather still has made its presence.

"I'd say wind is what we definitely worry about," said Joe Hunt, communications director for the Oak Harbor School District. "We've never had it rain on us."

The forecast is calling for mostly sunny weather for June 10 with a 10 percent chance of rain and 10 mph winds.

Oak Harbor will be graduating 370 seniors from the Class of 2013. The ceremony starts at 6 p.m. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. and will close promptly at 5:55 p.m. and remain closed until after the processional.

For those unable to attend, such as parents on deployment or relatives too far away to make the trip, the graduation will be streamed live through Wildcat TV online. The link will be available at www.ohsd.net.

For those attending, overflow parking will be available at Hillcrest Elementary School.

Hunt pointed out that professional photographers will not be covering graduation this year.

Superintendent Rick Schulte will make a speech, which likely will be his last to a large Oak Harbor public gathering before he departs for the superintendent post in Richland next month. His final day in Oak Harbor is June 30 when a handoff will be made to Lance Gibbon.

An open house will be held at the district administration building to honor Schulte and his 20 years as superintendent on June 14 from 4-6 p.m.

Student speakers at the graduation ceremony will be Madeline Mosolino and Christina Wicker, who each had perfect 4.0 grade-point averages in high school. The student at-large speaker will be Hailey Monroe-Glander.

The ceremony also will be the last one in Oak Harbor for Hunt, who's moving to Minnesota. He's served as communications director for nine years, toting a camera in hand for

You are an excellent son, brother and friend. God has blessed us with you in so many ways. Always remember to soar with the eagles, not run with the chickens! memorable moments such as graduation night.

He's glad the ceremony is now outdoors and no longer in the crowded, stuffy gymnasium.

"By the time graduation started, it was probably 95 degrees," he said.

Now, the worries are about moisture and chilly winds from the west. The winds have wreaked havoc on occasion but don't appear to be a threat this time around.
