Meet the ahhhh-dorable, lovable, sweet, silly, with a hint of sassy, Class of 2020 senior from Richwoods High School, Holly Payne.  I am obsessed with her freckles and those hazel eyes!!!!  Holly’s smile is contagious!   Getting to know Holly this year has been wonderful and I’m super excited to share her photos and more about her!

Holly would describe her personality as quiet at first, but then outgoing and loud once she gets to know the people around her!

After high school, Holly plans on going into Dental Hygiene Program at West Virginia University.

Her favorite class is US History. “I like learning about the events and struggles that our forefathers endured  to become free and have the rights I have today. I also like learning the different viewpoints of each historical event and being able to visit what I learn about.”

“This year, each game, competition, and practice for dance has been very meaningful. The amount of sacrifice it takes to be at practice every day at 6:00 am as well as every weekend has been a challenge, however so worth it when we perform. It’s always a good time at every game and competition!”

Besides being a Royalette and participating in several clubs, Holly volunteers at a local elementary school and helps with the first grade
