The Academy System
Granby High School operates on an academy system where the student body and faculty are divided into four distinct groups. While the principal oversees the school as a whole and focuses on building-wide issues, an assistant principal administers each academy. The building is numbered by a classroom number and then the academy letter. The academies (A, B, C, D) allow for the administration and guidance department to have a better focus on the students. Academy A are strictly freshmen classrooms and is located downstairs. Academies B, C, D are for the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. These academies are located upstairs.

Famous quotes containing the words academy and/or system:
“When the State wishes to endow an academy or university, it grants it a tract of forest land: one saw represents an academy, a gang, a university.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Those words freedom and opportunity do not mean a license to climb upwards by pushing other people down. Any paternalistic system that tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
