GMS School Counselor, Kiara Williams Johnson, was named Mississippi Counseling Association's 2025 School Counselor of the Year!

It’s hard to put into words just how proud I am of our Grenada High School football team, both for what they accomplished last season and what they’re already working toward this year.

As Superintendent of the Grenada School District, I have the unique privilege of witnessing firsthand the dedication, teamwork, and community spirit that define our students—and nowhere is that more evident than in our football program under the leadership of Head Coach Michael Fair. 

On a fall evening in Grenada, Mississippi, the lights of the football field will shine on a show unlike any other. Grenada High School Marching Band will perform a production that combines familiar melodies, digital effects, and powerful imagery to explore the role of artificial intelligence in everyday life.

The journey to higher education is a long one, and it starts well before you settle on the right school. If you’re dedicated to attending college, then your entire high school experience is the journey.

The peak assignment for your college bid is the application process. If you’re a high school senior, then you need to start this process right away. If you’re an underclassman or even just entering high school, you can make the process easier on yourself by keeping records and files over the next few years to document your academic performance and extracurricular activities.

The Grenada School District is making bold strides in healthcare education with the exciting addition of not one, but two state-of-the-art Anatomage Tables—a transformative investment that will elevate learning opportunities for Career and Technical Education (CTE) students across the district and surrounding communities.

These advanced virtual dissection and anatomy visualization systems—used at prestigious institutions like Vanderbilt University, Mississippi State University (MSU), and the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC)—are now part of the Grenada School District’s growing healthcare education program. The Anatomage Tables are more than just impressive technology; they represent a giant leap forward in student preparation, and opportunity. 

Grenada Middle School’s sixth graders had a unique opportunity to see science come to life during a recent visit from the Freedom Ranch - Birds of Prey program. The interactive event gave students a close look at a variety of rescued animals, including an albino ball python, a great horned owl, a talking crow, a red-tailed hawk, a vulture, and a cavy.

The presenter, Krissy Hamilton, shared fascinating facts about each animal, explaining their roles in the ecosystem and the importance of wildlife conservation. Students were especially excited to see the birds of prey up close and to learn how the Freedom Ranch Wildlife Center provides a safe home for animals that cannot return to the wild. 

The Grenada Career & Technical Center’s Welding class received a generous boost this week thanks to a donation from Crazy Charlie’s Pawn Shop, a locally owned business based in Greenwood, Mississippi.

The donation included welding gloves, rods, tools, and other vital supplies that will be used by students as they train for careers in the skilled trade. The contribution will have a direct impact on students’ learning experiences by expanding hands-on opportunities and better preparing them for work in the welding industry.

Last year was a landmark school year for Grenada’s NJROTC program. Cadets attended and competed in events across the southeast, and everyone shared a taste of success. Join 125 other cadets in a challenging and fulfilling extracurricular program recognized as a leader in STEM education across Mississippi.
