Shrader is also a student and media manager at the local dance center, Rhythms of Grace. She enjoys being part of the worship team and being a teen leader at her church. 

“I would like to thank many people for this amazing high school career. My lassie coach, Mrs. Julie Doyle, for always being there and pushing me to be the best me. My teacher, Mrs. Stack, for all the support through the years. And last but certainly not least, Mrs. Calfee for being a fabulous vice principal and always being there when I needed her.”
