From the Superintendent
Well, there goes 2024, another calendar year almost in the books. As I reflect back on the year, I am thankful that 2024 saw the passage of a comprehensive plan for solving the district's increasing enrollment and removal of 29+ modular classrooms. Within the first half of 2025, shovels will be in the ground for the new PK-1 school, a new facilities building will be well on its way to completion, and an artificial turf field will have broken ground.
2024 has brought forth so many examples of Greely pride and achievement, too numerous to mention, which makes our motto "Leading the Way" truly come to life. My very best wishes to all students, staff, and families during the upcoming winter break. Seasons Greetings and see you back in 2025!
Regards,
Jeff Porter
