Upcoming Events of the Brazos River RDSPD
Senior Spotlight- Gracie Strohmeyer

Senior Spotlight- Gracie Strohmeyer

Gracie Strohmeyer will be graduating from Stephenville High School in May. This now high school senior became a member of the Brazos River RDSPD family as an infant. Gracie is very active in many aspects of campus life, but it is her involvement with the Stephenville Stingerettes, the school's award winning dance team that makes her a stand out! During the annual Imagination Texas, Fine Arts Weekend for the Deaf, Gracie is always the first one on the dance floor. We have watched Gracie grow into the strong, determined young woman she is. Gracie loves technology, music, and she loves her family. Upon graduation, Gracie is considering attending the Texas School for the Deaf Access Program in Austin, Texas.
