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 first year as your principal a success and WELCOMING me back for my second year as your princiPAL.

Finally, Grant Primary/Grant Elementary administration, faculty, staff, students and parents will embody the 3E’s platform established by Superintendent Hansen.
