Alumni Snapshots
Our students may graduate and move on, but they remain members of The Harbour School Family. Through our annual graduate survey, we keep in touch with almost all of them and from time to time, they share with us their life stories. We are proud of our alumni and are pleased to share their stories with you.

Harbour Alum Recognized
 Ira
Thompson, who graduated in June 2006, recently received
special recognition for an essay
he submitted to the 2006 Maryland Distinguished Youth Disability
Award selection committee. The award
acknowledges young adults with
disabilities who are meeting their challenges and excelling in their
commitments, while successfully
living their dreams.
For a young man who struggled
with writing, the recognition
is considered a well-earned personal
victory. Elaine Verne, THS Annapolis teacher and Ira’s IEP mentor, noted that writing didn’t come easy for Ira, “it is something he had to work very hard at but, his work ethic and self-discipline are awesome.” Based on the results, Ira’s
efforts have definitely paid off!
Currently Ira is enrolled as
a full-time student at Delaware
State University where his GPA is reportedly 3.0+. His ultimate goal
is to become a pilot and if past
performance is any indicator
of future outcomes, we can be sure the sky is the limit!

On May 5, 2007 Zakiyyah Melise Shaw, THS class
of 2000, graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in English from the
Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina. Zak, as she liked
to be called, has a family legacy with this institution as both her
mother and sister are also graduates. Harbour faculty remember her
as an energetic and focused student who always gave 110%. She was
also warm and kind and had an affinity for jewelry. One staff member
remarked that her taste in jewelry was quite good and although the
staff member offered many times, Zak wouldn’t sell her one
piece.
Raymond Francis Joe Bosse (Ray), a 1999 graduate of THS Annapolis
received his Bachelor of Science with a major in Mechanical Engineering
from the University of Maryland, Baltimore
County, on December 21, 2006. Remembered as a bright, but quiet and
unassuming young man, Ray demonstrated a special knack for computers
and all things technical. We are very proud of his accomplishment
and wish him continued success.
On the same day almost a continent away, THS Annapolis grad Scott
Lougee (Class of 2002) and his family celebrated his marriage to
Meagan Ray at a reception in Mesa, Arizona. Scott is remembered for
his kind and caring personality, a bright, inquisitive mind, and
his musical skill that blossomed into stint as a weekend rock star
with a local band. We extend our best wishes to Scott and his new
wife Meagan for a long and happy life together.
