Your Dream is Our Dream
Celebrating Student Success
Your Dream is Our Dream is an initiative of Kent ISD and its member districts to showcase student success stories at every step of the education journey in our schools and unique programs. It features interviews with and stories of students who are succeeding at every level from early childhood programs to pre-K, K-12, Adult Ed, Special Ed and Center Programs, along with the educators who are helping them reach their dreams and goals. When our students succeed, we all succeed.

Janelly Sanchez-Puentes said she manages her academic, athletic and work commitments in her planner notebook, with all due dates written in red. The busy senior at Lee High School plays trumpet in the concert band, led the marching band as drum major in the fall, joined the wrestling team this past winter, and plays soccer in the spring, following months of indoor club soccer.
Union High School junior Josaiah Robertson began considering a career in health care after social workers taking care of his mother noticed he was a natural. He started researching options, and, now, a year later, Josaiah has made an impression on his Health Career Foundations teacher Alison Vanandel, who said he is one of the most “caring and kind” students she has had, and that he is on the right career path.
