Welcome to Grand Rapids Public Schools

Two seniors at Grand Rapids City High School won a nationwide student film contest for their short film about food insecurity, earning them $1,000 and a trip to Hollywood.

He was a kid from southeast Grand Rapids who spent his childhood playing sandlot baseball on the open fields along 28th Street—then just a quiet two-lane road.

Two members of the Class of 2025, who dual-enrolled while in high school at GRPS, are featured as part of Western Michigan University's 'First Year Faces' series.

GRPS proudly celebrated the final commencement ceremony for the Class of 2025, honoring 16 scholars who achieved graduation through the Ignite Summer Learning program.

The Grand Rapids Board of Education has approved updates to eight key policies designed to better protect and support scholars.

The community is invited to tour the new home of Southeast Career Pathways before it opens for the 2025-26 school year.
