✨Seattle Academy Alumni Spotlight: Rebecca Marowitz '13 ✨

"In my senior year as a student facilitator, I was assigned a group of freshmen to mentor during their first year of high school. I remember discovering what it meant to truly be there for others and help them feel comfortable in a new environment, surrounded by older students and more challenging classes.

Today, as I finish up my master's degree in couples and family therapy (right across the street at Seattle U!), I reflect on my time as a student facilitator with pride. That experience introduced me to the beautiful feeling of helping others in my community, and I can't wait to spend my career as a therapist doing just that.”

Before Seattle Academy alumnus Harlan Grady ’24 graduated, he penned a thoughtful article about . , our version of a homecoming celebration, is a night brimming with SAAS spirit, where students come together to cheer on our teams and show their Cardinal pride.

Seattle Academy alumni Bella Feinstein ‘17 and Olivia Miller ‘15 co-created a photography exhibit titled “On-Going: A Group Photography Show” that runs through the month of August at a gallery in Pioneer Square.

The show features debut work of four SAAS alumni, Jackson Chihuly ‘16, Kelsey Malone ‘16, Lucia Rosenast ‘19, and Lily Vogt ‘16. The exhibition exclusively features photographic work from 15 artists with connections to Seattle inspired by the originating spirit and conversations of the Seattle Fine Art Society. The image-makers in the show engage in a dynamic dialogue about photography as a lens through which they can celebrate and understand art and community.
