Alumna honored at Commencement
Kris Daughters '93 receives Distinguished Teaching Award from Whitman College.

WALLA WALLA, Wash.-- Kris Daughters '93, an English and journalism teacher at Liberty High School in Renton, Washington, received a distinguished teaching award from Whitman College at Commencement ceremonies Sunday, May 20.

Each year Whitman gives awards to elementary, middle school or high school teachers who have made a difference in the lives of graduating seniors. Students are given the opportunity to nominate former teachers who inspired them and set them on a path that led them to Whitman.

Daughters was nominated by Meghan Bunch '07, who wrote in her nomination letter, "She gave me the courage to be a leader, the guidance to write well, and the confidence to challenge myself."

Daughters was the 1998 Washington State winner of the Sallie Mae New Teacher of the Year Award. She advises the student newspaper Patriot Press, which in 2004 and 2006 won the Washington Society of Professional Journalists Overall Excellence award for scholastic journalism.
