Shoreline PTA Council scholarships
Saturday, June 13, 2015
Students applying for the scholarship must have a minimum GPA of 2.5, verification from their counselor, and a post-high school education plan.
When Shoreline High School closed to make way for Shorecrest and Shorewood, the PTA directed their remaining funds to create a scholarship fund for Shoreline students. The fund has decreased over time, but the scholarship stays viable, thanks to supplemental donations from other Shoreline PTAs.
Shoreline PTA Council congratulates the following recipients for 2015:
- Kelly McCaffrey of Shorecrest, heading to Washington and Lee University
- Nuo Chen of Shorewood, heading to the University of Washington
Good luck and best wishes to all of our 2015 graduates!

Shoreline High School didn't close "to make way for Shorecrest and Shorewood." It was closed because the district unwisely opened Shorewood in the mid-70s, when enrollment projections clearly showed a sharp decline of students within less than 10 years. They went from two crowded (yet functional) high schools with an amazing number of specialty courses to three schools with too few students. So they quickly moved to 4-year high schools, but still couldn't sustain a large enough enrollment. Politics dictated which of the three high schools would close -- the wealthier areas of the district's eastern and western corridors won that battle.
