Word From the Principal

Welcome to the home of the Elliott Grant Middle School Barracudas! Congratulations middle school students on arriving at a new academic milestone. I strongly believe that your middle school years are the time to strengthen your foundation on academics and to better prepare you for the future.

Grant administration, teachers, and staff are committed to assisting students with reaching their educational goals and instilling high expectations for all students. Not only do we stress the importance of academics, but we also want you to be actively involved in extra-curricular activities and school clubs.

I encourage you to take full advantage of the web site. It is a unique technological tool that gives Grant the reputation of being a middle school with a MISSION!

As we embark upon this new school year, I welcome the challenge and privilege of serving as your principal. Let's collaborate our efforts to meet our educational goals and expectations. Through hard work and dedication, I know we can maximize our potential for continued success!
