MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Grosse Ile Township Schools, in cooperation with students, parents, and community, is to teach the knowledge, skills, and behavior necessary for every student to lead a successful life.

Points of Pride

• Our relatively low student-teacher ratio (25:1) makes it possible for us to react to both the academic and personal needs of our students.
• We have had continued success with the Advanced Placement Program in Art History (Humanities), Biology, Calculus AB, European History, American History, English Literature, Statistics, and World History for the academically gifted. All the AP courses were approved by The College Board. We have students that prepare themselves for other AP exams by working on an independent basis with our teaching staff.
• Of our 2009 graduating class:

96%	Enrolled in a College/University, of those:           76% - Plan on attending a four year college           19% - Plan on attending a two year college             1% - Enroll in Technical Programs
1%	Joined the Army Intelligences and Language
3%	Undecided

• Of the 145 graduating seniors from the class of 2009, 198 scholarships were offered worth more than $2.1 million dollars.
• The music program continued to excel at all venues. The High School Band received Division I rating at the MSBOA District 12 Marching Band Festival. Both Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble received Division I rating at District Concert Band Festival.
• 9th Grade Social Studies MEAP scores were higher than all but two Michigan public school districts (96.4% Passed).
• Our dropout rate is still among the lowest in the state (less than 1%).
