Tami Goss, Director of Bands, said, “Since day one of her 6th grade year, I knew Grace was going to be a special student. She is attentive, thoughtful, diligent, and competitive. She strives to be her very best at everything she does but simultaneously encourages her peers to achieve at their highest level, even when the two are competing. I have always been most impressed with her ability to juggle multiple activities at one time without allowing any one of the to suffer. Grace has the work ethic and dedication of a true champion both in the classroom and on the field, it comes as no surprise that she remains at the top of her class. Grace is a wonderful role model for her peers, has a character second to none, and

she leads with kindness first, always. I am blessed to have known her for seven years.”

Michelle Jaarah, Composite Science, AP Chemistry, PreAP Chemistry & Physics Teacher, said, “Graciela is a hard worker and a pleasure to have a class. AP Chemistry is a difficult subject and can be intimidating. However, Graciela continues to rise to the challenge, and I admire that.”

Hannah Landry, Math Teacher, said,” Graciela is the definition of integrity, determination, respectfulness, and talent! It has been such a pleasure teaching her in PreAP, Precalculus and now AP Calculus. She is intelligent and hardworking, an unstoppable combination. She is a joy to teach, and I

look forward to watching her next chapter unfold after graduation. Congratulations, Graciela!”
