Grier Middle School
The students at the STEAM Academy brought “The Lion King” to life on stage with an outstanding performance. As part of the school’s arts integration program, students spent weeks preparing for the musical, and for many, it was their first time performing on stage.
Grier Middle School
We officially cut the ribbon for the new W.P. Grier Middle School, marking an exciting milestone for our community. Students were welcomed to their new school on Wednesday, August 13.
Watch the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
At Grier Middle School, we offer something you won’t find anywhere else in our district — a guitar class for middle school students. Want to know how our program began and what our students enjoy most about learning guitar?
A new approach for classroom management
Twelve of our schools are using a research-based approach called no-nonsense nurturing to help teachers with classroom management. In their role as no non-sense nurturers, teachers are creating a structured and consistent classroom environment for students that focuses on engagement, respect, and academic success.
Way to go … we did it!
We are proud of the progress our students have made over the past year. Grier Middle School has exceeded its academic growth expectations, and we earned a higher school performance grade. Plus, our school performance score increased by six points, which is an awesome accomplishment!
Providing care for students at school
Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually.
