Of the Keizertimes
Samuel Hernandez has had
a busy senior year. So busy that
his academic pursuits pulled
him away from his chair as the
youth councilor on the Keizer
City Council halfway through
his term.
Hernandez was a regular
presence at meetings until
a college writing course at
Willamette University created
a scheduling confl ict, but sitting
city councilors were all praise
as they honored Hernandez for
his time with the council.
“I’ve known Sam since
sophomore year and he was a
standout then,” said Councilor
Laura Reid, who is also a
teacher at McNary High
School. “He takes advantage of
all his opportunities in a way
that helps him build new skills.
You stand out among your
peers in a way that brings them
up.”
Hernandez reported that
he will be attending Pomona
College this fall on a full-ride
scholarship. Pomona, one of the
top-ranked liberal arts colleges
in several reports, accepted less
than 7 percent of its applicants
for the class of 2022.
In addition to his studies at
McNary, Hernandez recently

ciation as he fi nished his term as Keizer’s youth councilor.
graduated from Willamette
Academy, a program that
offers support, tutoring and
mentoring to college-bound
students. Hernandez is one of
several valedictorians this year
at McNary.
When asked what the most
powerful lesson of his time with
the council was, Hernandez
didn’t hesitate with an answer.
“It was being able to apply
what I learned in law and
government classes,” he said.
“One week, we were discussing
the Americans with Disabilities
Act in class and, that night
at council, we talked about
ADA-accessibility in Keizer
buildings.”
Hernandez has his sights set
on law school after fi nishing
his undergraduate degree and
hopes to become a U.S. senator.

before but talks sputtered over
transportation issues. In the
intervening time, she’d found
local churches willing to do-
nate their vans to help trans-
port groups of harvesters to
local sites.
“I think it would be em-
powering for our women to
go and be involved in har-
vesting the food themselves,”
Smith said.
By the end of the meeting,
the two women were talking
about a path forward.
