Dasyn Owl, Olympic

Two years ago, Dasyn woke up at a friend's house and all he wanted to do was go home. This realization ultimately was the turning point away from Dasyn heading further down a dangerous path.

He transferred to Olympic High School midway through his sophomore year and turned it around, both academically and personally. Trips to the administrators offices dwindled and Dasyn’s GPA never dipped below a 2.5 after recording a 0.5 GPA at the end of his freshman year., specifically. He even took and passed three Advanced Placement (AP) classes.  

Dasyn credits the staff at Olympic for believing in him and on track to graduate, which until his epiphany two years ago, seemed like a pipedream.
