Superintendent's Message: GSD Celebrates Prestigious Recognitions

In February 2025, the Grenada School District proudly received two significant recognitions, further solidifying its reputation as a leader in education in Mississippi. While these accolades are a testament to the district’s consistent dedication to excellence, it is important to remember that such achievements are the result of years of hard work, collaboration, and commitment from every corner of our school community. We take pride in our continued success, yet remain humble, as these recognitions are not to be taken for granted.

Superintendent's Message: Academic Excellence with Support Staff

The academic success we’ve achieved in our district is the result of the combined efforts of everyone involved. It truly takes all of us—students, parents, teachers, assistants, support staff, administrators at both the school level and Central Office, as well as our community partners—to accomplish the enormous success we’ve experienced.

A key group contributing to this success is the district’s Instructional Specialists and Lead Teachers. These individuals play an essential role in supporting teachers and students, helping to improve academic performance through a variety of initiatives, including lesson development, professional development opportunities, and targeted interventions. 

One Skill at a Time: Local Skill-Based Careers

Schools like Grenada School District (GSD) provide a range of programs in fields such as culinary arts, welding, construction, technology, STEM, healthcare, arts, automotive, and athletics. These programs not only deepen academic knowledge but also equip students with hands-on skills that align with real-world expectations. The concept of developing “one skill at a time” encapsulates GSD’s mission to prepare students for life beyond school by building both competency and confidence.
