In which township is Grain Valley located? BONUS: How many townships are there?
 
When was Grain Valley first incorporated?
 
What was the name of the railroad which first came through Grain Valley?
In what year did Grain Valley’s first brick school burn?
 
In what year did the Grain Valley Middle School on Eagles’ Parkway transition to become Grain Valley High School?
 
For which 1956 GVHS graduate is the student union at the University of Central Missouri named for?
 
Who was the first GVHS graduate to receive NAIA All-American honors? BONUS: Where did he play and coach college football?
 
 Who was the first GVHS graduate to attend West Point? HINT: 2020 GVHS grad Cole Keller’s great uncle.
