From Trevor Olson, Archery Coach and Athletic Director:
Grauer's High School and Middle School Archery teams competed in their first archery meets of the season on February 11, on our home archery range. What a fun and exciting day it was! Not only did Grauer archers shoot incredibly well, they also displayed a very high level of character and sportsmanship both on-and-off the range. Coach Eric and I received numerous compliments from the parents at High Tech High regarding how kind and supportive our students were, and for me, that is better than winning. Well done, Grauer Archers!

Congratulations to all of The Grauer School's 12th Grade students in the "Class of 2025" for receiving their diplomas during their graduation ceremony on June 6, cheered on by their family and friends.
Dr. Grauer, along with The Grauer School’s research office, has spent 14 years developing the Small Schools Coalition which documents why and how smaller schools are not less by virtue of their enrollment size, but so much more. Here is an enjoyable story about that.
What happens when we stop trusting experts—especially in our schools? Dr. Grauer explores the rise of anti-expert thinking, the decline of formal education, and why real teachers still matter.
