Welcome to East Grand Rapids Public Schools!
East Grand Rapids Public Schools is an outstanding school system with dedicated students, a highly qualified staff, administration, Board of Education, parents, and community committed to providing an excellent educational program. Our motto of a "Tradition of Excellence" is a commitment, a challenge, and an expectation.
Through collaboration at every level, East Grand Rapids stands out as a model of public school success. We have received many state and national accolades, honors, and awards in our long history. As a school system, we view these achievements as a challenge as we strive to continually improve our curriculum, instructional, and assessment practices to meet the educational needs of all children.
In all areas of our educational programs, the development of the whole child - cognitive, social, emotional, and physical - is valued and supported. Our students are provided with a challenging academic program coupled with a caring school environment. Together with outstanding teachers, these support systems promote and encourage personal responsibility and foster citizenship development in our students.
As you browse our district website, we hope you will find relevant and key information about our student activities and accomplishments throughout the district and learn more about our successes that will be used as a foundation to build upon. We anticipate our future with excitement and invite you to be a part of our continued commitment to excellence. Please feel free to contact us if you have suggestions or input regarding this school year and how we can make it the best year ever for our students.
Sincerely,
Heidi S. Kattula, Ed.D.
