The district also strives to enrich student life by offering an excellent music program, a nationally recognized FFA-agriculture program and a full range of extra-curricular sports.

The district’s budget for 2002-03 is approximately $15 million with a staff of 127 certificated teachers and 110 classified employees.

The student population of 2,123 is diverse — 49% white, 44% Hispanic, 5% Asian, 1% Native American, and 1% multi-racial.

The Gridley community is committed to its youth. Parent groups, including an educational foundation, augment and enrich programs and provide grants for teachers and scholarships for students.

What makes Gridley so special is that the educators and community members join together to support and safeguard our students, evidenced by the outstanding after-school programs and our ever growing teen center.
