The Granton Area School District provides the highest quality education possible while meeting the needs of All students. We feel that building a strong sense of community and family are at the core of everything done in our building. Education does not stop in the classroom - we use serving learning projects and local resources such as the library, pool and childcare center to enrich our students' academic experiences as well.
