It’s no secret that Estacada has a bunch of Amazing Kids; students who serve their community, excel in school and in many activities. There are athletes and actors, scholars and scientists, volunteers and vocalists and students involved in so many things.
Estacada High School student Marliegh Hulsey, 16, is Estacada’s 2023 Amazing Kid. She is featured in the special issue inserted in this print edition (and posted online) of Estacada News with the other Amazing Kids from the metro area.
