Seattle Schools Looking for Input on Graduation Locations

From SPS Communications:

The 2025 high school graduations marked the last time we will celebrate in the current version of Seattle Public Schools’ Memorial Stadium—an iconic venue that has hosted generations of students and families. 

Beginning this summer, a major construction project will begin to replace the stadium with a new, modern facility. Graduation ceremonies in 2026 and 2027 will take place at alternative locations while the new Memorial Stadium is under construction.  

To help us select the best venues, we invite you to complete a brief online survey. Your input is important—please submit your responses by Friday, June 27.  

English, Amharic, Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese Surveys

Somali Survey

Somali Survey (once complete, email your response to epmo@seattleschools.org) 


As a reminder, the district is having an open house next Thursday, the 26th from 4-7 pm to say farewell to original Memorial Stadium. 

For additional information – and to submit your favorite Memorial Stadium memories and photos for display online and on the stadium screen – visit SeattleCenter.com/Memorial-Stadium

Nepotism in Seattle Schools

Update: Following a scandal at Aki Kurose Middle School, apparently the district has pulled the principal, Caine Lowery who leaves Aki for a promotion to Central Office to support/train/guide principals. Hmm. I also note that former Rainier View Elementary principal Anitra Jones, who was removed from that school, still doesn't show up on the staff roster at Rainier Beach High School where it was stated she would be. Where is she? Who knows?  end of update   This is going to be a difficult post to write because it is sad to see what looks like a norm now at JSCEE. The norm I speak of is largely an occurrence with principals as well as JSCEE senior staff. I also know that this is not going to surprise most who works at JSCEE. The norm I'm referring to is the one where some personnel have personal connections within the district that sees them moving between jobs and even getting promoted based on those relationships. In short, nepotism.  This district is risk-adverse wh...
