Andrew Rainwater did double-duty at Seattle Colleges' 2025 MLK Day celebration this week, performing with the DaNell Daymon & Greater Works Gospel Choir, a cherished part of the Colleges' MLK events for more than two decades, and sharing his experience as a participant in the Academy for Rising Educators (ARE). ARE—a partnership among the Seattle Colleges, Seattle Public Schools, the City of Seattle Department of Education and Early Learning, and other local colleges and universities—creates pathways for educators who reflect the diverse backgrounds of Seattle’s students. Andrew is one of over 100 students who have benefited from the ARE program, working his way up from a paraprofessional toward his teaching degree.
