Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year Grant Elementary Panthers!
 
 
Dear Parents & Guardians:
 
I am honored and privileged to be a part of such a GREAT family and look forward to collaborating with you on a successful school year. Thank you for making my second year as your principal a success and WELCOME me back for my third year as your princiPAL. I look forward to continuing our relationship to promote a quality academic environment for our students.
 
I am excited to begin my twelfth year of service at Bellwood School District 88.  As we begin the 2024-2025 school year, I would like to express my gratitude to you for allowing the Grant Elementary School faculty and staff to participate in the educational experience with your child(ren).   Together we will provide an exceptional educational experience for your child(ren) and assist them in striving for success and excellence in the 2024-2025 school year. Finally, Grant Elementary administration, faculty, staff, students and parents will embody the 3E’s platform established by Superintendent Stockton.
