COVID Related Quarantines and School Closings

Under guidance from State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs, Gov. Tate Reeves' new order requires face coverings to be worn inside of school buildings and classrooms. The new order lifts capacity restrictions for indoor and outdoor activities. Therefore, the Grenada School District will lift many of our indoor and outdoor capacity restrictions.

Everyone will be required to wear a mask while attending GSD indoor activities; however, wearing a mask during outdoor activities will not be required but is strongly recommended.

The 2021 Grenada High School Graduation will resume, as normal, with no restrictions on capacity.

The GCTC’s state-of-the- art classroom kitchen is designed to restaurant standards with professional appliances and work stations.
