It’s nice to have some great news to share about one of our local college students. Kinley Troh, daughter of Bill and Toni, was named to the President’s List at Columbia Basin College in Pasco for the winter 2020 quarter. Kinley made the list with a 4.0 GPA and is currently waiting to learn if she has been accepted in the radiological technologist program which begins in June.
Kinley, you continue to make us all so proud here in your home town. Congratulations.
