Alumni Spotlight: Cohort 2015

This past May, 33 students in cohort 2015 graduated from the Raikes School. They were honored during their senior dinner on Friday, April 19 where Cooper Knaak was awarded the Golden Keyboard and the gavel was passed to Allison Inman in cohort 2016. This cohort is the largest graduating class in Raikes School history. Their 89% retention rate is also the highest in Raikes School history. Beyond the numbers, they were incredibly intelligent, they were leaders inside and outside the Raikes School, and they were great role models for younger cohorts. They will certainly be missed, but we know they are ready to go out and change the world for the better.

Here’s where they are going…
