School News
Our Amazing GRMS Stingrays earned the right to be called an AVID National Demonstration School. Through hard work and determination our students and staff have exemplified the Systems, Leadership, Instruction, and Culture that makes us AVID. 
Teachers spoke to AVID representatives about how AVID has helped build a family within our school that regularly collaborates with one goal in mind: making our students college AND career ready. Students spoke to how AVID strategies prepare them for their futures beyond our wall as they venture forth into high school and beyond. Congratulations to the entire GRMS family for this momentous achievement!
