Grace Van Gorder, staff reporter
Grace Van Gorder is a sophomore at McCallum High School. This is her first year as a staff reporter for The Shield. Last year in photojournalism she learned a lot about photography and how to get an interview and she hopes that this year will further improve her skills and writing. She can’t wait to continue to improve as a writer and photographer. Along with The Shield, Grace is a color guard for the Mac Band, competes in the customer service portion of the SkillsUSA team and plays in the intermediate guitar ensemble. When she’s not working on school or her extracurriculars, Grace enjoys baking, watching Netflix and playing solitaire.
