Grady Greene was a beloved student, friend, athlete, musician, brother, grandson, and son. Grady’s smile would light up a room. He had the incredible gift of talking to anyone and making them laugh. His laughter was contagious. He was adventurous, strong, and kind. He blessed everyone who knew him, and maybe broke a pen or two along the way. His impact on this school community will be lasting. He was a leader and a dear friend. We are filled with great sadness, and we will miss this remarkable young man. Read more.
