Jesse Revesz endured a challenging childhood. He emancipated himself from his parents, both addicts, when he was 16 years old, and he spent most of his first three years at Washougal High School in detention.
Revesz said he lacked direction and positive influences, and didn’t think about his post-high school future. He entered his 2010-11 school year severely credit-deficient and on the path toward becoming a high school dropout.
“I was in trouble and I knew it,” Revesz said.
During his senior year, Revesz met Washougal High counselor Christina Mackey-Greene, and said that is when his life began to change.
Mackey-Greene, along with Washougal High School Principal Aaron Hansen, formulated a plan for Revesz to not only graduate, but to thrive after high school.
