Jerry Grantham

With deep family roots in both Colleyville and Grapevine, Jerry’s quiet, diplomatic demeanor helped build a strong unified system following the merger of the two school districts. His vision for hands on job skills education resulted in the creation of the Regional Vocation Skills Center in 1973. A 1949 graduate of GHS, he received his degree from UNT and served in the Army and Navy Reserves. An aerospace engineer for Braniff and Regional Manager for Lord Corporation, he also found time to serve on the GCISD Board of Trustees from 1965-1975 during a time of great change and growth in the district.
