“I feel Queen’s Grant Community School offers a unique opportunity for children to thrive academically as well as morally and socially. Queen’s Grant Community School definitely fosters a close - knit community where each student can feel safe about their differences. The best thing Queen’s Grant Community School offers is the ability to strengthen students' sense of self. Once that is achieved, anything is possible.”
Carolyn Lepore - E.C. Teacher
"I have worked at Queen's Grant Community School for three years now and found it to be a rare school. The teachers work diligently to help their students. They are encouraging but firm. The parents are motivated and involved, especially in the day-to-day activities of both teachers and students. Most of all, the students, even those who are "challenging", are some of the most respectful and cooperative I've seen. I am happy to have found a place here; perhaps you will, too!"
Melanie Jarvis -Speech-Language Pathologist
“I have been teaching at Queen's Grant Community School for two years, and could not imagine myself anywhere else! The staff here are so close, and care so much about each other and the families at our school. Our parents are wonderful and are really there to support their children. They understand that it takes a village to raise a child, and know that every single person on our staff cares about their child as if he/she was their own.”
Nellie Murison - Third Grade Teacher
“I just completed my first year of teaching 8th grade language arts at Queen's Grant Community School, and the care and concern students showed to each other and their teachers, brought me to tears on numerous occasions. In none of my former schools, would a student in a group of friends reach out to the lone student and ask them to join the group. I saw this on numerous occasions with different students each time. In the classroom, students strive to achieve and we as teachers strive to challenge each individual child; this is something I do not believe you will find elsewhere.”
Mrs. Terry Menendez - Eighth Grade Language Arts Teacher and Mom of 2 students
"Before applying for my job and becoming familiar with NHA, I never dreamed that a school like Queen's Grant Community School existed. An extremely warm and caring environment, strong student-parent-teacher teams, high expectations set daily for all students, an integrated morals curriculum, genuine respect and success. You are lucky to find one of those traits in a K-8 school, let alone all of them! I have been extremely fortunate to begin my teaching career at this school and cannot imagine practicing my craft anywhere else, for there is no other school like Queen's Grant Community School."
Ms. Mandy Graves - Fourth Grade Teacher
"I began teaching at Queen's Grant Community School the first year it opened in 2002. I previously taught 9 years and was burned out. I didn't want to teach anymore. I decided to give teaching one more chance by coming here. It has been the best move of my teaching career and I can't think of no other place I would rather be. Queen's Grant Community School is my dream school! The teachers, staff and administrators are family. We work together, laugh together, cry together, and celebrate together. We are united in believing we are teaching ALL children at Queen's Grant Community School, not just the children who come into our classroom each day. We get to know the children and truly care about each child. Of course we have struggles, but we get through them because we are family and our bond is strong."
Karen Long - Second grade
