We are proud to recognize Bailey Rudzinski, recipient of the 2026 Houser Scholarship, whose creativity, leadership, and dedication span academics, athletics, and the arts.

Bailey will attend the University of Oregon, where she will major in Architecture and receive her Bachelor's and Master's degree through their accelerated five year program. She has earned recognition across multiple disciplines, including the John Philip Sousa Award, Career and Technical Education Student of the Month, and a 4th place state finish with her woodwind trio. A three-year cross-country team captain, Bailey demonstrated persistence, growth, and leadership through years of disciplined training and team mentorship. She also co-founded a social justice club focused on addressing sexism and building awareness within her school community.

Through her experiences in athletics, leadership, the arts, and customer service work, Bailey has developed resilience, communication skills, and a strong commitment to advocacy and community connection. She plans to use her studies in architecture to design meaningful, community-centered spaces that bring people together.

Loving this ! Reflects the work and support you all having been doing for years.
