“I am so thankful to my family for always believing in me and pushing me to do my best,” she said. “I would also like to thank all my teachers throughout high school, especially Ms. McSwain, Mrs. Cochran, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Denton, Mrs. Layno, and Dr. Foerst.”
When asked her thoughts on graduation, Bradley noted, “Graduating is bitter-sweet. I am going to miss the people that I grew up with, but I am also excited to attend college. I am ready for the next chapter of my life to start, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.”
She is the daughter of Eddie and Christine Bradley.
