Our Staff

The Grissom Middle School faculty represents a vast sampling of professional experience at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels of teaching. Most staff members have pursued their own education to include their Masters degrees in specialized areas. Our Grissom staff also has a good deal of instructional experience in more than one subject area.

Grissom teachers are here to work with students in a cooperative effort. The staff members care about the students assigned to their teams in a very special way! A number of team-building activities may be planned throughout the year to reinforce team spirit between teachers and students.
