2021 in Review

Looking back at the 2020-2021 school year

We did it, GRPS!

Life has been hard since the pandemic began, but we finished the 2020-2021 school year on a bright note: many returned to the classroom as hybrid students, numerous GRPS students and their families received COVID-19 vaccinations in our school clinics, and our graduating seniors were able to have a socially distanced outdoor graduation ceremony.

We are so proud of our GRPS students and families, and we can’t wait to see what the next school year brings!

 

Pictured left: 17-year old Yeimi Reyes, graduating from GR University Preparatory Academy (U Prep). According to the article by Michelle Jokisch Polo, “Reyes is one of 48 seniors at U Prep who are currently attempting to make history at the school by achieving a 100% graduation rate for the second time in a row.”

Congratulations, Yeimi!
