For the fourth consecutive year, the Grenada School District has achieved an A rating in the Mississippi Department of Education’s accountability results—a monumental accomplishment that speaks volumes about the unwavering dedication, focus, and excellence of our students, educators, and leadership.

This year’s district accountability score of 707 continues to place Grenada among the highest-performing school districts in the state. Such a distinction is not easily earned—nor easily maintained. It requires relentless effort, strategic planning, and a shared vision for success, year after year.

In a rapidly changing world, artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining how people learn, work, and solve problems. For Grenada School District (GSD), this shift isn’t something happening far away, it’s a new chapter in a journey that began nearly a decade ago with Project Lead The Way (PLTW). Now, Grenada will become one of the first rural school districts in the nation to pilot PLTW’s Principles of Artificial Intelligence course, an initiative designed to bring the power of AI learning to every kind of community, not just major cities or well-funded schools.

Students from the Health Science program at Grenada Career & Technical Center (GCTC) took part in the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s (UMMC) Discovery Day in Jackson, Mississippi.

The event, held annually, provides high school students across the state with a hands-on opportunity to explore careers in health care. GCTC students toured medical facilities, interacted with health professionals, and engaged in interactive demonstrations that highlighted fields such as nursing, radiology, surgery, pharmacy, and biomedical research.

Andrew Gordon grew up in Duck Hill, and he played football and graduated from Grenada High School in 2005, working part time at Mo Suga Catfish. After his football career at Holmes was sidelined by injury he moved to Oxford and attended Northwest Community College. In Oxford, Andrew’s aspiring culinary career continued at Oby’s, he said lightheartedly. After culinary school in Oregon, his career has now come full circle as the Culinary Arts teacher at Grenada’s Career and Technical Center. Gordo to his friends, Chef Andrew to his students and employees, says his goal as a teacher is to pass on the lessons learned from years in restaurant kitchens: discipline, attention to detail, and teamwork. 

Families stepped into the woods at Grenada High School, for an evening of eerie excitement, storytelling, and family fun during the fourth annual Terrifying Tales Family Literacy Event. Organized by the Grenada High School English Language Arts Department, the celebration was a true community effort. With support from the Grenada School District, local organizations, and individual partners, the team transformed the B-Building into an enchanting world straight out of the Brothers Grimm.

When Tristan Crockett walked the halls of Grenada High School in 2015, he never imagined he’d one day look out from a cockpit window 30,000 feet above the ground. Now a First Officer on a Delta Airlines Boeing 737, he returned to speak with Grenada’s Class of 2026 about hard work, focus, and finding purpose. “I love flying,” he told students. “I would never do anything else.”
