Grace Gormley, Editor-in-Chief

Hi! I’m Grace, Editor-in-Chief for Viking’s 2023-2024 school year. I am a four-year member of the Paly varsity swim team, and I also played water polo for Paly as well. I also am on the  Speech and Debate team and president of Best Buddies club. Fun Fact: I’m the third Gormley sibling on Viking!
