She was a strong leader in the community and champion for education. As a fierce advocate for Bremerton Schools and students, each year she helped to raise thousands of dollars in scholarship funds for BHS students.

Healthy Youth Survey: Alcohol use remains low while vaping use increases among Washington youth
About the Healthy Youth Survey
Students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 take the Healthy Youth Survey every two years, voluntarily answering a wide variety of questions about health behaviors from substance use to mental health and school climate. In the fall of 2018, more than 230,000 students took part in the survey. The responses from about 32,000 of those students are used for the statewide sample, with remaining participation informing local results. The survey provides state and community organizations with information to help decide on which teen health issues to focus.
The survey is a collaborative effort between the Health Care Authority (HCA), the Department of Health (DOH), the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB). Here are some additional data summaries for the most recent substance use survey results:
