WHAT A WAY TO START THE SCHOOL YEAR!
The first day back at Grove Public Schools was full of energy, excitement, and GROVE PRIDE!
Our incredible local businesses kicked things off by welcoming staff with breakfast, gifts, cash prizes, and gift certificates. We are so grateful for a community that invests in our staff and schools!
Upon arrival today, staff were greeted in the parking lot by the Grove High School Band and Cheerleaders, and the excitement continued in the PAC as our entire team came together for the school song, National Anthem, and Pledge of Allegiance.
Superintendent Doug Brown shared his vision and passion for the year ahead with one powerful message:
WE ARE GROVE.
THE DISTRICT OF CHAMPIONS!
What a GREAT way to kick off 2026–2027! We are ready. We are excited. WE ARE GROVE!
❤️🖤 Let's make it a championship year! 🖤❤️
