Announcing the 2025 Fannan Fellows — A Celebration of Integrity, Leadership, and Community

Written By Marilee Ashby

We are proud to announce the Class of 2025 Fannan Fellows — a group of exceptional @sths_vikings seniors chosen for their leadership, character, and dedication to community. This year, Founder Sean Fannan and his wife Kele Song had the honor of presenting each student with a scholarship, recognizing their outstanding commitment to our core pillars: FEED, READ, and LEAD.

This year, we celebrated these scholars at our Fannan Fellowship Dinner, a beautiful evening dedicated to honoring both their achievements and the people who helped shape their journeys. Each Fellow was invited to bring someone who inspired them — a mentor, teacher, coach, or family member — and several students courageously took the stage to share the story of who they honored and why.

Their words were heartfelt, powerful, and a true testament to the idea that leadership is nurtured through community and connection. It was a night filled with gratitude, reflection, and deep admiration.
