Hi! I am Gracie Hornbaker, and I am this year's Editor in Chief. This is my third year being involved with the Spartan Speaks. I love being apart of the newspaper where I am constantly surrounded by great people with great ideas.

This year I am a senior captain of the Orono Cheer Team. I love football and, being on the field to cheer on the team is my favorite way to watch the games. Plus, who wouldn't enjoy being apart of those giant half time pyramids?
