Rya Grilley – Herron High School Yearbook

Hi, I'm Rya Grilley

Hi! My name is Rya Grilley, and I am a Junior here at Herron! This is my first year being a part of the yearbook staff, and it has been an amazing experience so far. I’ve loved seeing the way ideas and concepts of designs have come to fruition, and the start-to-finish process of such a big project that reaches many. Besides yearbook, I am a part of both the Track and Field and Cross Country teams here at Herron. During my time on the team, I have had the privilege of running at large meets such as sectionals and regionals, some of which take place on the same tracks and courses that high-level college athletes compete on, which is cool to look back on. I also enjoy listening to music, watching movies, and hanging out with my family and friends!
