Kennedy Miller, a La Conner High School senior, is the Soroptimist Honored Student for the month of March.

Kennedy is a very hardworking student and volunteer. She helps coach her younger sister, Maddy's La Conner Middle school basketball team. She also is a National Honor Society member and a member of the Swinomish Tribal Youth Council. As a Tribal Youth Council member, Kennedy works on beach clean-up teams and helps to serve at Swinomish elder dinners.

She has been playing volleyball since middle school and was a "right side" player for the school's state 2B volleyball champions this year. Kennedy also played guard on the LCHS basketball team, which came in 4th at the state tournament in Spokane.

A lifelong and multigenerational Swinomish/La Conner resident, her great great grandfather carved the totem pole on Reservation Road. Her proud parents are Melissa and Scott Miller. In addition to her younger sister Maddy, Kennedy also has an older brother Scottie who helped coach the LCHS basketball team. Scottie is on track to graduate from WWU in June.

Kennedy likes to cook and bake. She recently got a part-time job at the Ice Cream Tower. She enjoys crabbing with her grandfather and her cousins. She would like to attend WWU or SVC and pursue her lifelong goal to become a registered nurse.

Kennedy will receive a gift certificate to Vintage Thrift, the thrift and consignment shop run by local volunteers to support women and girls in the community, and enabled by the generous donations from the community.
