Grissom Recognized as an Apple Distinguished School

As part of Kirby School District 140, Grissom Middle School has served Tinley Park students and their families since 1975. We have over 600 sixth through eighth-grade students learning in our classrooms each day and a staff of over 90 individuals supporting them. We are committed to working in partnership with our community to build a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment where students are equipped with skills for life and learning.

At Grissom, we believe in inspiring our students to shape their own futures. Our vision is for our students to lead, learn, and flourish in a constantly evolving world. By fostering a love for learning and providing them with cutting-edge tools, resources, and experiences, we empower our students to turn this vision into reality. Through the dedication of our school leadership teams and the innovative support of Apple Professional Learning, we create an environment where inspiration and education go hand in hand.

When students integrate technology into the creative process, their enthusiasm and confidence soar. The iPad, as a powerful tool for creativity, empowers them to bring their ideas to life without limits. From brainstorming to design to final presentation, the iPad offers a vast array of applications that allow students to craft stunning and imaginative artwork, making their learning experience truly boundless.

Innovation flourishes when accessibility and inclusion guide the way, enabling every student to contribute and make a difference. By integrating technology into learning, we equip our students with the skills and knowledge to not only succeed academically but to make a meaningful impact on the world around them. The iPad serves as a gateway for students to explore, create, and engage in learning experiences that have the potential to change the world.
