Tacoma Weekly — Destiny primed to grow as first class graduates

The handing out of 103 eighth-grade diplomas last week marked not only a milestone for the students as they head into high school but for the school itself. More milestones are in the works for next year.

This year’s Greater Tacoma Peace Prize Laureate Melannie Denise Cunningham, who is also a Destiny board member, served as the graduation’s keynote speaker with the message that students should set goals and follow their own paths that might not include financial wealth.
