2024 Passage Assembly

Class of 2024 Senior Awards

Coca Cola Scholar: Amari Luu

Only 150 students nationwide were chosen to receive this award. Out of the 91,000 applicants, it is no surprise to us that Amari Luu's stuck out above the rest!

As part of this award Amari got to honor a teacher and also chose to honor Social Studies teacher, Mr. Russ Davie.

"Mr. Davie always looked for new and creative ideas to teach class. From having us pretend to be Soviet leaders during the Cold War to debating which world leader was the best, Mr. Davie never hesitated to look for a new method to ensure that students in his class were getting the material down," Amari said.

"Even after I left his AP European history class, I would continue to visit, as he was always a familiar face and had a friendly smile that I could return to whenever I needed advice or someone to talk to. And I don't think I'm alone when I express these sentiments. I strongly believe that everyone who has had Mr. Davie as their teacher knows what I'm talking about and will understand when I say from the bottom of my heart: thank you. Thank you, Mr. Davie, for everything you have done for me."
