Congratulations to Lane Fox for being nominated and recognized for our outstanding senior student at this month’s Rotary Luncheon. Lane is a great role model for other GR8 students!
Lane is involved in many activities including National Honor Society, math club, baseball, scholar bowl, archery, and a few others. His heaviest responsibilities are tied to FFA, where he serves as the GRHS FFA chapter president and as the Area 8 regional sentinel.
Following graduation, Lane plans on attending the Missouri University of Science and Technology, where he will pursue a degree in Aerospace Engineering. Following college, he would like to apply for an Aerospace Engineering job at NASA, SpaceX, or Boeing.
We are all proud of Lane and his accomplishments so far, and will support him as he pursues higher goals in his life.
Congratulations again Lane Fox!!!
