Principal’s Corner

Welcome to Grangeville Elementary/Middle School’s (GEMS) website. GEMS is the largest school in Mountain View School District 244. Here at GEMS we are collectively trying to bring about a school climate that includes open communication, life-long learning and the development of a Professional Learning Community (PLC). The outstanding staff of GEMS aspires to serve the needs of all students and provide them with exceptional opportunities to grow academically, physically, socially and emotionally.

Our staff goal is to work with the community to make GEMS a dynamic learning environment that stretches beyond the classroom walls to include opportunities to participate in sports, extra-curricular activities, special field trips and assemblies. Our primary goal is to ensure that every student is safe, feels safe and wants to come to school to learn and be with others in a friendly atmosphere that appreciates the contributions of each student.

Feel free to visit our website often to keep abreast of the progress that we are making together. Go Bulldogs!

Michael H. Auton, Principal
