Carla Vendeland Community Service Award

Over the past four years, Caleb has been involved with his community both in and out of school. He was president of Newport's HOSA club and was an officer of the Red Cross club, helping organize various events. He was also active in the PNW's MUN scene, helping plan conferences and committees for high schoolers throughout the greater Seattle area. The summer before junior year, he served as a community crew member for the Student Conservation Association, where he went to trails and habitats across the state and did tasks like invasive species removal and gravel installation. He continued these stewardship efforts throughout the next two years through community cleanups at parks and beaches. Caleb will be attending Johns Hopkins University next school year on the pre-med track, and hopes to conduct research looking at the interplay between the environment and human health.
