Granby’s own G-4s 4-H Robotics team attended the world’s largest robotics competition and brought home an award. Over 13,000 teams from more than 50 countries competed to earn one of 1,000 invitations to the 16th annual VEX Robotics World Championship held in Dallas in April.
Students across multiple age groups within the Granby Public Schools came together as part of a new 12-week initiative aimed at encouraging creative thinking and developing engineering skills among young students.
It was an exciting April for the Granby Public Schools. Our students and staff continue to make our community proud in all areas of our school district.

In March, the superintendent search consultant, Dr. Mary Broderick, held nine different focus groups with various school and community stakeholders to better understand the personal and professional qualities desired in Granby’s next superintendent of schools.

Granby Memorial High School runners have experienced some terrific success this year. In the fall the boys cross country team finished 5th in the state led by senior Daniel Owen.
On January 7 the Granby Grunts High School Robotics Team #3146 kicked off its 2023 competition season. The team has been busy designing and building its new robot to complete this year’s set of complex tasks. To showcase the team’s progress to date, on February 11 the Grunts invited the team’s sponsors, family and community members, and district, town and school officials to their Open Shop Day.
Within the confines of our small, tight-knit community, we naturally become accustomed to the traditions and customs that define who we are as Granby residents. Yet in a world that extends well beyond the established borders of our humble town, a myriad of unique cultures exists.
