Miss Oregon Outstanding Teen Marin Gray of Roseburg has only had the title for a little over a week, but is already preparing for national competition, which will begin soon.
The 14-year old incoming sophomore at Roseburg High School has a personal platform called B.R.A.V.E. That stands for building respect, alliances, and values for everyone. Gray has led special events to promote that platform.
