Ms. Giard is left Granite Hills at the end of the '22-23 school year to take on a new position as VAPA Teacher on Special Assignment at the District Office.
She is sad to leave Granite but is excited about her new career opportunity.
She is absolutely THRILLED to introduce Ms. Benitez as the new Theatre Teacher and Director starting August 2023!
