Welcome to Grenada Career and Technical

Get to work!

MYTH: Students who are ready to work but don’t want to attend college aren’t smart enough to attend. 

It simply means you know what you want to do. And guess what … there’s a more direct path to get what you want. You belong here with us at Grenada Career and Technical Center.  You’ll be doing hands-on work — building and repairing, healing and creating.

We use real-world tools to train for careers in health science, construction, hospitality, welding, auto repair, education and more. Our teachers have worked in these industries and bring hard-earned experience to share with you.

With our new industry-standard certifications, you could leave high school with professional credentials that make you an attractive candidate to employers.

Superintendent's Message: Education Innovation

In 2016, our school board adopted a bold vision for innovation and supported an ambitious plan to reshape education in Grenada. This commitment led to our designation as a District of Innovation, a title that allowed us to rethink traditional education models and implement research-backed strategies aimed at developing independent, confident, and capable students. One of the key initiatives under this plan was the expansion of STEM pathways, including Computer Science, Biomedical Science, and Engineering, in every school in our district.

One Skill at a Time: Local Skill-Based Careers, The Power of Critical Thinking

The power of critical thinking lies in its ability to transform the way students approach learning across all subjects. In mathematics and science, it allows students to break down complex equations, test multiple solutions, and apply logical reasoning to real-world problems. Whether analyzing data in a chemistry lab or using the scientific method to test hypotheses, students develop the ability to question assumptions and draw evidence-based conclusions—an approach essential to fields ranging from engineering to healthcare.

Superintendent's Message: GSD Celebrates Prestigious Recognitions

In February 2025, the Grenada School District proudly received two significant recognitions, further solidifying its reputation as a leader in education in Mississippi. While these accolades are a testament to the district’s consistent dedication to excellence, it is important to remember that such achievements are the result of years of hard work, collaboration, and commitment from every corner of our school community. We take pride in our continued success, yet remain humble, as these recognitions are not to be taken for granted.
