🎓 From Legacy to Launch: Celebrating Our Graduates’ Next Chapter


Our 2025 Legacy Cohort
2025 Legacy Cohort

Last week, we gathered for one of our favorite traditions of the year, our Legacy Graduation Celebration! This special event is more than a party; it’s a joyful send-off as our graduating high school Scholars prepare to take their next big leap into college and beyond.

The room was filled with proud smiles, heartfelt hugs, and maybe a few happy tears as we celebrated the incredible journey these young leaders have taken.


Being part of our Legacy Program, they’ve shown resilience, curiosity, and a determination to chase their dreams and now, they’re ready to make their mark on the world.


Each graduate left with more than just well wishes. We sent them off with care packages full of dorm essentials, snacks, and small reminders that they have a community cheering them on every step of the way. Whether they’re headed across town or across the country, they’ll carry a piece of the Palmer Scholars family with them.


As these Scholars begin this exciting new chapter, we know their futures are bright. They’ve worked hard, stayed focused, and built a foundation of skills, confidence, and community that will serve them for years to come.


To our graduates: Keep dreaming boldly, working hard, and believing in the power of your story. Your Palmer Scholars family is rooting for you every step of the way and we can’t wait to see all you’ll accomplish.


Congratulations, Class of 2025! The future is yours.

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
