We are honored to recognize Mr. JoJo Grant with our Whatever It Takes Award. Mr. Grant serves as the elementary teacher of our Panthers Alternative Child-Centered Environment program, also known as PACE. Mr. Grant exemplifies the dedication, compassion, and resilience that this award represents.

Mr. Grant’s unwavering commitment to his students is evident in everything he does. He approaches each day with a calm and respectful demeanor, fostering an environment where students feel valued and understood. His ability to individualize instruction is truly remarkable, while also implementing personalized interventions designed for each student’s unique needs.

Beyond academics, Mr. Grant’s greatest strength lies in his ability to uplift and encourage his students. He genuinely believes in their potential, and they, in turn, thrive under his guidance. The love and care he has for his students are unmistakable, and it is reflected in the strong relationships he builds with them and their families. Parents consistently express their appreciation for his communication, support, and dedication to their children’s success.

Whether it’s implementing new strategies, completing necessary (and often extensive) data collection paperwork, or adapting to new demands, he does it all with a positive attitude and a willingness to go above and beyond. His ability to see the good in every child and every situation is inspiring to both students and colleagues alike.

Over the past year, Mr. Grant has demonstrated significant professional growth, continually refining his skills and expanding his impact. He embodies our core belief that our PACE students come first, and he truly does whatever it takes to ensure their success. For these reasons and more, we wholeheartedly say we are #GreenbrierProud to present a March Whatever it Takes award to Mr. JoJo Grant for this award.
