This episode is a little different and a little sentimental, as it wraps up Season 3 of Learning in Lake Oswego. Each year, our students walk across the graduation stage carrying years of memories: teachers who believed in them, activities that shaped their interests, and friendships that helped define who they’ve become.

We’re joined by Nathan Ko and Max Koegler, two students who have experienced nearly all of it. As student representatives to the School Board, they’ve helped shape conversations about our district’s future while finishing their own journeys. In this conversation, they reflect on where they started, the moments that mattered most, and what comes next.

We also hear from parents of graduating seniors, who share reflections and advice they wish they had known from the very beginning.
