THE GRANTONIAN

Principal's Message

  • Dear GHS Families,

    Welcome back to the 2024-25 school year. This will be an exciting year filled with exciting games and memorable performances that will create lasting memories for our students.  We are excited to announce new hires in our Counseling, English, Science, and Classified Departments.  We’re also happy to welcome Jessika Magnett as our new Curriculum and instruction Vice Principal.

    During this first week of the school year, we have enjoyed welcoming our 2,172 students. Many of these Grantonians have decided to participate in a sport, performing arts program and or Leadership. We Strongly encourage every student to be involved in at least one activity that helps connect them to Grant.  Grant students thrive when they are actively involved at Grant. Stay tuned for Club Fair information coming soon.  

    Please encourage your student to attend every class period every day! Attendance is a top priority at Grant. Our data shows that when students miss classes they are less likely to succeed at Grant. Please try to schedule appointments and family vacations around the school schedule and calendar whenever possible to support student success. 

    Thank you to ALL of our families who support students and Grant in a variety of ways. We would not have been able to get all of our students through Gear Up Days without so many fabulous volunteers. We also want to thank our GHS PTA for providing an incredible Welcome Back lunch for our staff. The community support for our teachers is inspiring and appreciated.  A huge thank you to our Grant Alumni Association for their support of our Grant High School 100th Birthday event scheduled for Friday, September the 13th.

    Once again,  I will be  hosting my Principal’s Coffee Talk on the second Wednesday of each month starting in October at 8:45 - 9:30am for families who would like to learn a little more about Grant or have questions. We hope to see everyone at Back to School Night on Wednesday, September 18th, where families will be able to meet teachers and learn more about their students’ classes.  

     

    Here’s to a year of growth and learning.

     

    James McGee, Principal

  • Free Screening of "Champions" as Part of Our Series Boosting Belonging, Equity, and Inclusion

    2/4/2025

    As part of our district's focus on events that center belonging, equity, and inclusion, we have been screening a series of films that we hope will challenge our perceptions about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.

    The next film in the series is “Champions,” which will screen on Saturday February 8th at 2:00 PM at Lincoln High School. This event will also include first-hand testimonials from PPS students.

    This movie highlights the journey of a basketball coach who leads a team of players with intellectual disabilities. Through humor and heartfelt moments, the movie emphasizes the strengths, individuality, and value each player brings to the team and how inclusion enriches communities and creates positive, supportive environments.

    Staff, families, and community members are all invited. Parking is free and light refreshment will be provided. We hope to see you there!
