Midway Elementary teacher Anna Herried is featured in this month’s #HighlineAlum social media campaign. Herried is a 2006 graduate of Highline High School.
 
Herried teaches third grade at Midway. She attended Highline Community College and Central Washington University after graduating from Highline. She says high school teachers inspired her to work with children, which led to her career as a teacher.
 
"I just had a great experience in high school in the Highline School District. I enjoyed the teachers, the community, and the diversity. I really wanted to keep that in my career,” said Herried.

Highline boasts a long list of well-known and accomplished alumni and dozens of grads you haven't yet heard of who are making their mark on the world.
 
Each month, we are featuring successful, high-profile alum and up-and-coming alum on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages. The features include a short video clip of the alumnus. The community is invited to follow along by using the hashtag #HighlineAlum.
 
Last month, we featured Seattle Sounders FC player and Mount Rainier alum Darwin Jones, and former NFL quarterback and Evergreen alum Jack Thompson.
 
The #HighlineAlum campaign aims to inspire our students to dream big, graduate high school, and go on to accomplish great things.
