Plowman announces retirement

     Grain Valley High School (GVHS) Principal Dr. Jeremy Plowman announced his retirement at the end of the 2022-2023 school year after 27 years in education. Plowman joined GVHS as associate principal in 2007 and has been the principal of GVHS since 2013. 
     “It has been my honor and privilege working with all of you to build what I believe is the best high school in the KC Metro area. Our building is almost double the size physically [from when I started] and we are still building. Academically, we have continued to increase opportunities for students and their test scores continually illustrate their readiness to succeed after high school. However, what makes this place special is all of you," Plowman said in a statement to staff.
     Referring to Dr. Plowman’s retirement, Superintendent Dr. Brad Welle said, “Dr. Plowman has led our high school with professionalism and enthusiasm. During his time at GVHS, the school has transformed into a suburban leader in academic and extracurricular opportunities for students. His emphasis on relationships has ensured a ‘small school’ feel during a period of rapid growth.”
