About Grant Middle School
Grant Middle School is
the home of 645 students in grades 5th through 8th. We have 50 teachers, two
administrators and 19 support staff members. Our family continues to grow
as the Grant community grows.
The Middle School strives
for excellence in its expectations of the staff, students, and parents. We
are NCA accredited and currently working toward outcomes accreditation. Our
academic growth has resulted in noticeable increases on the MEAP and Gates
MacGinitie tests.
One of the programs we have developed is called Peer Coaches. The purpose of
this program is to help new students make the adjustment to our school a
little easier. This program is called Peer Coaching and pairs a new student
with a student that has attended the Middle School. The coach helps the new
student find his/her classes, shows them the building, introduces them to
other students and helps wherever he/she can. This has proven to be very
successful in easing the new student's fears in coming to a new school.
Our students are offered many extra-curricular activities in which they can
participate. Sports opportunities include basketball, girls volleyball,
cross-country, wrestling, football, and track. Other activities include
PRIDE, Yearbook, Odyssey of the Mind, and WGMS.
The Middle School building is also the Grant Athletic Complex for the
district. The gymnasium, which includes a walking track, is used for Middle
School sports activities and for Varsity and Junior Varsity sports as well.
The football field, new track and field areas, softball and baseball fields
and the new Fitness Center are also located on our campus. As the newest and
largest building in the district, we are host to many community sponsored
events such as Lions Club suppers and breakfasts, class reunions, Girl
Scouts and dinner theatres. We welcome groups from both our own and
surrounding communities.
