Welcome Aboard Military Families!

Grafton Middle School welcomes our military families!  Did you know over a third of our students are military connected?  Each year we register families from other states, countries and school districts to become a part of our Clipper Community. We hope to make your transition to a new school division as smooth as possible.  We strive provide our children with quality education in a welcoming, supportive, and friendly environment.  Our teachers and staff understand the unique needs of our military students and work with families to make joining a new school a positive experience.  We have families from all branches of the military represented in our student population and we are so incredibly thankful for your service!
