For the seventh consecutive year, the Mercer Island School District will present Pathfinder Awards to Mercer Island High School (MIHS) graduates whose achievements, strength of character, and citizenship inspire and challenge today’s youth.

Nominations can be submitted through Feb. 28 at https://tinyurl.com/37swt9du.

Candidates must be graduates of MIHS and have graduated at least 10 years prior. Posthumous nominations will be accepted.
