Grady Middle School after-school schedule

Education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.  Our message at Grady Middle School is to increase the passion and enthusiasm students have for learning.  Curiosity is one of the most permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind.  One way to achieve this is through the Citizen Schools' apprenticeship program.   Young people gain knowledge, experience, and real life application when they work with experienced adults who serve as Citizen Teachers.

This year, the Grady campus is also proud to offer 8th Grade Academy. By relying on the abilities of older students, we will provide a unique experience on top of the Citizen Schools program you already know. This intensive program is designed to help 8th graders navigate the transition to high school and help them to reach their potential through high school and college visits, leadership development, advanced lessons, and Working Towards Positive Choices.

Come join us at Grady Middle School, where a dedicated and caring staff helps students learn how to be future leaders, to develop community connections, to access local resources, and to perfect skills in public speaking, technology, and other areas. All while having fun!

If you are interested in enrolling your child, learning more about how you can get involved in our program, or would just like some more information about Citizen Schools at Grady Middle School, please stop by our office in room 103.  You may also contact us throughemail or by calling 713-625-1422.

Introducing 8th Grade Academy at Grady Middle School

 

"Citizen Schools is a wonderful addition to my middle school. It allows the students to continue their learning in real world settings and see the connections. The students who participate develop leadership skills that help them to be successful inside and outside the classroom."
