Rainier Scholars Tacoma

Our Mini College scholars, who are in their third summer of programming at Rainier Scholars – Tacoma, have been working hard and exploring future careers this summer!

Those scholars that chose "Sports as Business" as their "major" track had the amazing opportunity to visit the Seattle Kraken Iceplex in north Seattle. They had a fantastic time hearing from several Kraken employees across the many career paths available within professional sports—including coaching, human resources, and marketing/community engagement. They even had the opportunity to get out on the ice themselves and practice their skating skills. Thank you to the Seattle Kraken for hosting us!

We are celebrating all of our scholars’ hard work as our summer programming enters its final weeks! Scholars have participated in science experiments, building their math confidence, sharpening their critical thinking and writing skills, and owning their identity. We cannot wait to see them enter the school year ready and prepared to excel!

We are so excited that our amazing staff members, Isolina and Anisia, were featured in CityLine this month to share about our summer programming! Today marked the first day of summer classes for our scholars, and we are looking forward to a summer full of academic enrichment, leadership development, and college and career exploration.
