A little more about Rita Heaton: I love art and am currently majoring in graphic design in A-tech’s magnet program. In my ever-disappearing spare time, I like to draw, camp and hike. I enjoy traveling, and through my dad’s military assignments, I have had the amazing opportunity to live in Greece and Germany and travel throughout Europe. On the weekends you will usually find me hanging out with friends or helping out at Canyon Ridge Christian Church. My dream is to someday travel to Africa and treat AIDS, while working with a Christian missions program.
