Grand Valley and District Public School was constructed in 1969 with an addition that was added in 1995. Initially GVDPS was a secondary school which served the Grand Valley area, while the elementary students attended a smaller schoolhouse that is located just south of our current school.

At Grand Valley & District Public School, we are proud to serve approximately 450 students in a vibrant and diverse community of learners. Our students bring with them a wide range of identities, experiences, and perspectives that enrich our classrooms and shape our collective learning. We believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued and we work intentionally each day to make that a reality.

Our staff is deeply committed to fostering a culture of belonging and equity. Through ongoing learning and reflection, we embed anti-racism, inclusion, and culturally responsive practices into every part of school life. From curriculum and classroom instruction to community partnerships and daily interactions. We recognize that this work is continuous, and we strive to create a school environment where curiosity, compassion, and justice guide our growth together.

Beyond academics, GVDPS is a place where relationships matter. We celebrate the connections between students, families, staff, and the broader Grand Valley community. Together, we nurture confident, capable, and caring learners who take pride in their identities and contribute positively to the world around them.

At GVDPS, we believe that education is not only about achievement, it’s about building understanding, empathy, and a shared sense of purpose. Every day, we aim to create a school where all students belong, learn, and thrive.
