Honor Unit Award
Communication Award
Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award - Palmer McIntyre
Outstanding High School Educator Award - Stacy Lynn Way
Robert A. Clendenin Outstanding High School Administrator Award - Ged O’Donnell
And a HUGE thanks to all our members for their participation and making this a successful year for our PTSA and school!

Project Graduation
Grimsley PTSA has a 30 year tradition of hosting a fun, drug and alcohol free event the night of graduation for our seniors so they can enjoy one final night with friends on campus. We are gearing up for this year's event with fun plans for a carnival style event, rain or shine on June 3rd.
Please help us reach our fundraising goal of $6,500 to help fund this fantastic and free event for our seniors!

Please help celebrate our graduating Seniors! Would love to have more underclassman parents volunteers so parents of seniors can enjoy the day with their families.
