Welcome to Grand Island Public Schools

Thank you for visiting the Grand Island Public School's website to learn more about our outstanding academic opportunities for students and staff. We are a school district comprised of 19 schools with a total enrollment of approximately 8,200 students. Our great sense of pride rests in our academic accomplishments resulting in ALL of our schools making AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress). This is due, in no small part, to the commitment of our nationally-trained professional staff who truly believe in our mission of "Every Student, Every Day, A Success."

While navigating our website, please feel free to contact us if questions arise. As a high-performing school system we look forward to working with you and your students.

Dr. Steve Joel, Superintendent of Schools
