Grace Miller, Editor-in-Chief

Salutations! I am Grace Miller, one of the editors-in-chief for the Lantern. I am heavily involved in FFA and speech but my true calling is cherishing factual news sources, delving into American scandals, and appreciating corn. When I have free time, I play with my poodles. They also like scandals.
