Grissom High School Family,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! This will be my second as the principal of Grissom High School, and as a former GHS student and teacher, there is nothing more special to me than the opportunity to serve my alma mater and the greater community of South Huntsville. Alongside the amazing faculty and staff at GHS, we will continue to embrace Grissom's longstanding tradition of excellence as well as strive to provide students with a first-rate educational experience.

Go Tigers!
