She is the oldest of six children and loves spending time with her family.  She has taken mostly college level classes here at Riverton High. She is enrolled in three Advanced Placement courses this year and has taken and passed five AP classes with high scores in the past.  Grace is the current secretary of the National Honor Society and has earned her academic letter.  She has many talents among them being really good at math. She has used that talent to create a fairly lucrative job of tutoring kids after school.  She loves all sports although she is not involved in any particular sports team. She loves to run and play tennis.
     Grace is very outgoing and friendly.  She was voted 1st attendant at Homecoming this year.  She loves helping people and tries to give service whenever she can.  She is a peer tutor in the special education department.  A perfect day for Grace would be watching the movie “Megamind” and eating corn.

Driver Ed Information



DRIVER EDUCATION RANGES

Thank you for not parking in the maroon parking stalls in the north parking lot between 2:30 & 7:00 p.m. Monday – Friday and Saturday mornings. We would rather not tow your vehicle as it is expensive for you to retrieve it!  Park in a yellow stall and you will be safe! Thanks for your cooperation. Always assume there will be a range…

D. to take the test. If you do not plan on getting a learner permit, please see your counselor to transfer out of 2nd quarter Dr. Ed. Thanks!
