Safety Tips ‘Taking A Proactive Approach’ Grady High School’s first concern is the safety and well being of the Grady Community. For this reason, we have increased personnel within the Safety and Security office, which allows us to monitor the school throughout the day. This provides an added safety for everyone in the building. In addition, this will help us decrease the number of students out of place and prevent intruders from entering the building. One of the new staff members has been assigned to monitor the video surveillance system to help increase safety on our campus.

-Do not leave valuables in plain view in your vehicles.

-Nurse’s CornerIt is important to know that medication cannot be administered at school by the nurse without doctor’s consent. Our overall objective is to ensure the safety and health of all students at Grady High School.
