Two Sequim High School graduates — Ivy Barrett and Elizabeth Beebe — have some extra help in their pursuit of academic degrees, thanks to the Sequim Hall of Fame.

The organization recently awarded each of these 2025 SHS graduates a scholarship worth $2,500, with funds raised from the 2024 Sequim Hall of Fame event.

Barrett received the Aubrey and Carol Verstegen Scholarship. She excelled in both soccer and track and field at Sequim High. She was also a referee, a volunteer coach and helped with a fundraiser for her soccer team.

Barrett worked several after-school jobs and plans to attend the University of Washington to pursue a career in medicine and exercise science/physiology.

Beebe was awarded the John Knapman Foundation scholarship. She participated in FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America) each of her four years at Sequim High. She participated and excelled in trap shooting each of those years. She also volunteered at the Sequim Food Bank and worked at the Olympic Game Farm, her family’s business.

Beebe is interested in a career in veterinary science and plans to attend Washington State University.
