Grissom 8th Grade students took their first visit to Penn High School this week. They learned about scheduling, choosing their classes, and diplomas. They had a chance to meet their future counselors and take a tour of Penn High School. We are so proud of our 8th grade students who set a fantastic example for Grissom Middle School during their visit! Students were respectful and polite and it was definitely noticed by PHS staff!
