Head, Faculty and Staff
The Grauer School was founded in 1991 by Dr. Stuart Grauer, a noted educator and strong proponent of the nation’s highly-acclaimed Small Schools movement. 
For two decades, Dr. Grauer and faculty have continually advanced the school’s college prep mission on the belief that students will be most successful when they are intrinsically motivated to learn. They have seen great success with this unique school model. Grauer students are attending the nation’s finest colleges and universities.
The Grauer School has over 30 certified, highly-qualified personnel, including Dr. Grauer, Principal Dana Abplanalp-Diggs, and school counselor Tricia Shemwell.
Of the over 30 teaching faculty, three possess doctoral degrees, seven have earned master’s degrees, and all have earned bachelor’s degrees. All have extensive intercultural and community service involvement, and diverse teaching backgrounds.
