Cohort 2014

New Raikes School Alumni: Cohort 2014

cohort 2014 senior dinner

In May, 20 students in cohort 2014 graduated from the Raikes School. They were honored during their senior dinner on Friday, April 27 where Daric Teske was awarded the Golden Keyboard and the gavel was passed to Cooper Knaak in cohort 2015. This cohort has left a lasting impact on the Raikes School, and while we are sad to see them graduate we know they will go on to do amazing things.
