At NDUE, we are proud and grateful to have Deputy Gracianna Averitt as part of our school family. She’s more than just a uniform—she’s a protector, a mentor, and a friendly face our students trust and look up to.
Whether she’s building relationships with students, supporting staff, or ensuring our campus stays safe, Deputy Averitt leads with compassion, strength, and a true heart for service.
Thank you for everything you do to protect, connect, and care for our school community. We appreciate you today and every day! #LEADlikeaGriffin
