ArrayWillamette Academy student Irving Corzo met major league baseball player Jed Lowrie during his recent visit to Parrish Middle School.
Lowrie is an inspiration to Corzo, who dreams of becoming a major-league baseball player. Lowrie attended Parrish Middle School and
North Salem High School and later went to Stanford University. He now plays for the Boston Redsox.Willamette Academy at Willamette University is a college access program committed to empowering youth who have the desire and potential to advance to higher education, targeting those who are historically under-represented at colleges and universities in the United States. Willamette Academy is a supplemental education program in which ethnically diverse students are challenged and inspired to enhance their critical thinking skills, see themselves as leaders in their community, and develop a love of learning. Our hope is that through cooperative efforts with families and public schools, Willamette Academy students will develop a stronger foundation on which to build their future.
