GRACE is blessed to employ so many creative, innovative, dedicated, and gifted educators. At the beginning of this year’s in-service, teachers attended a GRACE-wide Mass where educators across our system were recognized and celebrated. Each and every one of our teachers is award-worthy but we would like to take a moment to recognize this year’s award recipients from St. John the Baptist.
