Her past achievements as the 2A WA state pole vaulting champion and her exceptional character have made her a source of pride for the town and school. Whitney's influence as a principal, teacher, and track and field coach has positively impacted many students.

The five recipients were selected by a committee that consisted of community members, former students, and current and former staff members. Nominations were submitted electronically, and after careful deliberation, the selection committee came to a final vote in June.
