On Monday, May 18th, 2026, the Rotary Club of Kirkland held an in-person meeting at the Prosecco Restaurant & Pizzeria. Congratulations to all the Outstanding Educators award recipients.
The Rotary Club of Kirkland very much appreciates the work local educators are doing to offer quality instructional and support programs for the betterment of our community, and continues to recognize outstanding educators within our region.
This year the Outstanding Educators were Ryan Palmer from Lake Washington High School, Steve Juzeler from Juanita High School, and Jackie Lowdermilk Emerson K-12 School.
The three 2026 Outstanding Educators were recognized by their peers and colleagues, and the Rotary Club of Kirkland, for their outstanding contribution to their respective schools, both for academic achievements and for everything they do for their students above and beyond education.
Thank you, Jackie, Ryan, and Steve, for all you do for these students and the community.
