Rece Vining, Lead Editor
Rece Vining, a senior at Pleasant Valley high school, is an avid supporter of the arts, evidenced by his heavy involvement in music. As a bass, he sings in both the Chamber Choir and the Leading Tones jazz choir. In band, he plays the trumpet. Vining also participates in history bowl and tennis. In the warmer months, he can be found practicing on the tennis courts with his choir friends. Outside of school, he enjoys metal detecting and reading biographies.

Vining is excited to apply his writing skills and unique perspective to the Spartan Shield online.
