Principal's Corner

Welcome to Grafenwoehr Elementary School, home of the Grizzlies!

It is my pleasure to welcome you into our family of over 300 STAR students. We support families by offering a world class education from grades PreK through 5 here on Tower Barracks in our 21st Century building.

We are committed to the education of your child. With a broad rigorous curriculum, ample supports to ensure your child can achieve the high expectations set by our educators, opportunities to engage with the community on and off base, and strong systems of support, you will find everything you and your student need to be successful learners and helpful citizens.

We love having our parents be part of our team and we encourage you to join our PTA (Parent Teacher Association) and our SAC (School Advisory Committee). We have an incredible partnership with the 589th Iron Caissons but we invite our entire community to come in and volunteer. You are always welcome at GES.

Grafenwoehr Elementary is a proud member of USAG Bavaria and we strive to be a big reason why it really is Better in Bavaria!

Please check out our Facebook page and read our weekly newsletter, The Grizzly Growler, in addition to visiting our webpage for all the latest happenings. We can’t wait to welcome you to our family.
