A Step Above: Griffin Fox
Silverado High School
Class of 2011
Silverado High School senior Griffin Fox is a student with a plan…and a furry, purple monster as his right hand man. Unusual? Maybe, but together this duo is spreading the word about good values and faith through laughter and friendship. Amusing puppetry aside, it’s not all fun and games for this ambitious young man, whose natural leadership and mentoring abilities propel him along the path to a prosperous tomorrow. It’s about being the best person he can be, living proud, yet humble, and devoting his life to service and guidance for the benefit of all, and for that, Griffin Fox is – A Step Above.

Goals & Aspirations: “I have always wanted to attend and graduate from Oral Roberts University, my dream college. I want to major in theology and minor in business. After graduating from college I plan to get married.”
Accomplishments Most Proud Of: “I am most proud of being a children’s teacher for five years at my church. To know that I had a part to play in a child’s life by teaching lessons about character brings joy to my heart. Finally, I am extremely proud of my grades. I spend hours doing homework and staying up late studying.”
Griffin is Successful Because: “I believe the two most important components to a successful life are time management and listening to wise advice. As an AP student, I know I have a lot of work to do, so I prioritize my time so that I may spend time with my family and friends. Also, my parents are smart. They usually are right so I take their advice on almost everything.”
Part of the Solution: “Teens are insecure. They don’t know who they are and what they are called to do. Teens run to relationships, drugs and alcohol to seek relief. Through Seven Youth Ministries and the Church at South Las Vegas, I am a part of walking teens through their troubles. We preach a message of hope that draws teens of all ages to safety.”
