Grayville schools provide a meaningful education supported with community spirit

Grayville Community Unit School District #1 offers educational opportunities for students in grades pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The Pre-k through 8th grade offers a comprehensive program that services a full range of student needs. Wells Elementary houses students in grades Preschool through 5th grade.  Preschool is a full-day program for children ages three and four with separate transportation provided.   Grayville Junior High/H.S. operates on a traditional period schedule. The district is in close proximity to both Frontier Community College (FCC) in Fairfield and Wabash Valley College (WVC) in Mt. Carmel allowing high school students the opportunity to take courses or participate in programs working towards certification on campus. Grayville H.S. also works closely with FCC & WVC to provide dual credit course opportunities, as well as online courses for high school academics. The district continues to offer a nationally recognized agricultural education program and FFA club at the Jr./Sr. High School.

Grayville Schools offer extracurricular opportunities for students, which enhance student learning outside of the classroom. Currently, students in grades 5-8 are eligible to participate in basketball, baseball, cheer, softball, volleyball, track, and cross country sports.  Scholastic Bowl and band are also offered to junior high students.

High school sports offered are basketball, baseball, cheer, softball, volleyball, track, and cross country.  Other extracurriculars for high school students to join are Scholastic Bowl, Band, Choir, Beta Club, Drama, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, National Honor Society and Student Council. The district also employs an art teacher.

After-school tutoring is offered free of charge twice a week for any students in grades K-12 requesting extra help, and transportation is provided for it also. 

The Grayville Gaming Guild started this year.  It is an after-school program for students to participate and play chess and other board games to help develop their social-emotional learning. 

In Addition, Grayville Schools are a member of the Wabash and Ohio Valley Special Education Cooperative (WOVSED), the Ohio and Wabash Valley Regional Vocational System (OWVRVS) and a member of the regional Office of Education #20. Alternative school and truancy intervention programs are operated by the WOVSED and ROE #20 and can be used if students qualify for services.

The GCUSD Faculty & Staff are all certified and highly qualified in their areas and are dedicated to providing a quality education for our community. 

Parents are welcomed and encouraged to be active supporters of their children through volunteering or becoming members of the Herd PTO and/or Sports Boosters organizations.
