Students named to All-WA Academic Team
Congratulations to Theodore Hilton and Michelle Prieditis who were selected for the Phi Theta Kappa All-Washington Academic Team. They were part of 65 students representing 34 community and technical colleges in the state who were recognized during a ceremony at the state Capitol last week.
The All-Washington Academic Team project started 18 years ago to honor academic high achievers from public community and technical colleges. Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society that recognizes scholarship among two-year college students who are working on associate degrees.
Mr. Hilton is president of the Seattle Central Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa and is a member of the student council. He plans to earn a degree in public health. Ms. Prieditis is vice president of the academic society and plans to study midwifery and public/global health after finishing her A.A. degree at Seattle Central.
The Team event is sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa international, the presidents and trustees of Washington’s two-year colleges, the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and KeyBank who helps make $500 scholarships available to each member of the team.
