Oak Harbor High School seniors Kimberly M. MacIndoe and Charlotte R. Milling have received two-year, $3,000 scholarships to pursue their education in Washington state. Nearly 300 high school seniors statewide were nominated by their principals to receive a Regents Scholarship. Every nominated student was automatically eligible to receive a two-year, $2,500 scholarship to WSU — that amount was later increased to $3,000 because of the achievements and potential of this group of students.

Their parents are Isidra and Daniel MacIndoe and Katherine and James Milling all of Oak Harbor.
