Cliff Williams / TPI Elmore County High School senior Harley Grace Clayton uses chalk to sketch the design on her parking spot at the school. After graduation she plans to be either a radiology tech or radiologist.

Last week students had the opportunity to personalize their assigned parking spaces by painting the large asphalt canvas. Some students such as Harley Grace Clayton created her own masterpiece. Others such as Riley Shugart were heavily aided by their parents. Some dads such as Michael Byrd just made sure their students had a good foundation.
