Congratulation #Tacoma @tacomaschools @GraduateTacoma for all the hard work and the success at moving the needle is such fundamental ways. What better way to celebrate than at the @metparkstacoma Eastside Community Center.
89.3 percent of all Tacoma’s Class of 2018 graduated on-time. This is a 34 percent increase from 2010’s on-time graduate rate of 55.3 percent. Congrats, Tacoma! #TacomaSchools

Just months before he died, Billy Ray, @ShalisaHayes son, asked what it would take to open a community center. He sparked a dream that has become a reality @teambillyray #CelebrateEastside

Trudi and I enjoyed a sneak preview of Tacoma’s new Eastside Community Center, an inspiring example of what can happen when young people lead and community leaders partner together. As organizer Shalisa Hayes said today, “This is a dream come true for so many.” Congrats #Tacoma!
