Growth • Respect • Integrity • Tenacity
At Grissom Elementary, we ALL have G.R.I.T., which is the ability to grow, respect for one another, integrity, and tenacity. Our mission is to provide scholars with a learning experience that will grow and nurture each scholar both academically and socially in a positive environment that is safe, loving, and supported by the community. At Grissom, we honor the whole child, respect and value diversity, and lay a path to lifelong academic excellence by developing our student’s accountability and ownership of their learning.
