Rainier Scholars faculty members are passionate and committed educators.

 "I am always impressed by our students. People who challenge themselves on purpose and understand how valuable it is are rare. I have the great honor to work with scholars who understand how profound this is at 11 and 12 years old. Rainier Scholars is a place where talented people ensure that students have access to the best of themselves. I can think of no better statement about the future. There was a time when I never thought I’d be a teacher. Now, I can’t see why anyone who cares about the future would do anything else."  -Drego Little, Literature and Writing
