Principal's Message

Dear Grissom Elementary Families,
Welcome to another exciting school year at Grissom Elementary, where every child matters and every moment counts! It is an honor to serve as the principal of a school with such a rich legacy of excellence, strong community values, and a commitment to student achievement.
At Grissom, we believe in educating the whole child through a safe, nurturing, and academically challenging environment. Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to provide meaningful learning experiences that foster curiosity, confidence, and creativity. Whether your child is just beginning their journey in Pre-K or preparing for the next chapter in sixth grade, we are here to support every step of their growth.
This year, we are especially excited to continue strengthening our partnerships with families. Your involvement is a critical part of your child’s success, and we encourage you to stay connected through school events, SDMC meetings, family nights, and open communication with our team.
Together, we will make this year unforgettable, empowering our Grissom Rockets to dream big, work hard, and grow strong.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children. We look forward to a year of joy, learning, and achievement.
With Rocket Pride,
Monica Garza
