Welcome to Grout Elementary!

AN EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARD-WINNING SCHOOL

Built in 1927 and named after Daniel Alexander Grout (Jan. 5, 1862 - Feb. 27, 1929), a teacher, principal and school board administrator, Grout Elementary has been serving students at 3119 SE Holgate since 1929.

Currently, Grout is a Title I school with a diverse student body. Our students come from a variety of cultures, backgrounds and languages. This diversity contributes to our thriving community.

Our Mission:
Grout Elementary practices compassion and social justice. We provide an environment where all students discover the joy in learning and building a community where everyone belongs. Centering our Students of Color and those who are historically underserved, we disrupt racial inequities and support rigorous academic experiences where everyone feels safe to be vulnerable, make mistakes and celebrate growth.

Our Vision:
Grout Elementary fosters a sense of belonging in a diverse, collaborative and inclusive community of learners everyone's academic and personal growth is supported.
