Welcome to Grenada Middle School
A happy medium
Grenada Middle School offers numerous opportunities for students in grades 6-8 to accelerate from childhood into adolescence. Our stellar academics introduce innovative concepts in science and elevate concepts in math and language. Meanwhile our athletics, art, band, and show choir programs give many students their first chance to explore interests outside of the classroom. All along, we get to know our kids to make them feel like they belong here.
Take the tour and see what makes us tick.

School administrators, teachers, students, staff, and members of the community helped celebrate the launch of Grenada School District’s Balloon Quest on Wednesday, February 1. The new hands-on learning facility is a science-based, escape-room-style museum that elevates the district’s commitment to innovative learning.
GSD Superintendent Dr. David Daigneault welcomed guests to the event at the museum site in the National Guard Armory. He described the museum’s concept, a story-driven exhibit that simulates a hot-air balloon journey across six different rooms, or “ecosystems.”
“There is no other like it in the United States,” Daigneault said. “It’s a big deal, and I anticipate that people visiting from all over will want to come and see this.”

Administrators at Grenada Middle School challenged students to read 15,000 books by the end of the school year. Students who contribute the most toward this goal will enjoy a host of rewards, including possession of a coveted wrestling belt for the class of the week, as well as attendance at a wrestling match that pits faculty members against each other.
The AR Battle of the Belt contest rewards one class each in grades 6-8. A new set of winners are determined each week by various reading criteria: most books read, most points earned, best balance between fiction and nonfiction, or best class average.
