Ward, a freshman at the school, was randomly selected as winner of the vehicle, which has a standard transmission, CD player, new wheels and new tires, and window tinting. “It’s pretty crazy I got a car,” Ward said. 500-600 students were in the running to win the vehicle, Colon said.

Over the last several years, West Hills Honda has donated a pre-owned car to a student at Bremerton High School. The teachers submit potential winners based off of attendance, academics and overall go-getters. Hundreds of students attended the event.
