Lindsey Foster

Most in the Port Orchard community are well aware that the SKHS Boys Basketball Coach, Anthony Lewis, was severely injured in a random crime on February 25th. South Kitsap Athletic Director, Lindsey Foster, displayed the highest level of compassion and caring for Anthony possible. It was truly impressive, and her efforts are ongoing. Her leadership and timely communication were critical in our ability to organize support for his past and current players on short notice.

Dallas Brandy

It has been a privilege to watch Dallas thrive over the course of the last two years. He has been an exemplar role model for his peers this year. A few months into this school year he spoke to me about becoming a mentor. Our mentors work with 6th grade students to foster a sense of school spirit and personal pride. He has been an incredible mentor and goes above and beyond at any event he volunteers for. Thank you, Dallas. You are truly a trailblazer.
