Hello Warrior Families! My name is Peter Grant, and I am the new Interim Superintendent of Brainerd Public Schools. It is with great pleasure and honor that I have the confidence of the School Board to lead the district for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year.
A few details about me: I have been an educator for 40 years. I have been a Language Arts teacher, an assistant principal, and a superintendent during those 40 years. My most recent position was superintendent of Owatonna Public Schools from 2012-2017. My wife Shelley and I reside in East Gull Lake. We have six children and 10 grandchildren. We truly enjoy living in the Brainerd lakes area. Certainly, in my opinion, it is the “sweet spot” in Minnesota.
The start of a new school year brings excitement, preparation for a change in daily routines for parents/guardians and students, and the beginning of all kinds of activities your student(s) can participate in. I encourage you to involve your kids in as many activities as possible. My experience has shown students engaged in school activities have a more positive experience in school and achieve higher outcomes.
For parents and guardians, I encourage you to visit your child(ren)’s school and become acquainted with the administrators and office staff. Take a tour if you are not familiar with the school. Certainly, feel free to ask questions of staff to help you feel comfortable with the school. We also ask parents/guardians to get involved in the many opportunities provided by the District and Community Education. In the Community Education guide, you will find something for every family.
I wish you and your children a wonderful school year. We can make a difference if we partner to provide the best educational experience for your child(ren).
