     Grace is very outgoing and friendly.  She was voted 1^st 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. She can beat almost anyone on the “name that line in a movie game", especially Disney.  She has plans on serving and LDS mission and attending college to pursue a master’s degree in math or science.

He plans on serving an LDS mission and attending the University of Utah to major in Biology and eventually become an Orthopedic Surgeon.  His goal is to have a great family and a wonderful career.

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…
