Gridley High School

Dear Students, Parents, and Residents of Gridley,

It is with great excitement and sincere gratitude that I step into the role of Assistant Principal at Gridley High School. As someone deeply committed to the community, I am truly honored to serve in this new capacity. Gridley is a special place, and I look forward to working alongside our dedicated educators, supportive families, and exceptional students to continue building a positive school culture.

I bring 13 years of experience in education, having taught a wide range of subjects during my career. Most recently, I served for three years as the Curriculum and Instructional Coach here in Gridley Unified, supporting educators in strengthening instructional practices and improving student outcomes. I hold a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, a Single Subject Credential in English with English Learner Authorization, and an Administrative Services Credential. I have been honored with “Most Influential Teacher” and “Teacher of the Year” awards in two different school districts—recognitions that reflect my passion, dedication, and commitment to students’ education.

I am thrilled to continue serving Gridley in this new role, and I look forward to a year filled with meaningful learning, shared growth, and student success. Please don’t hesitate to reach out or say hello—I value open communication and look forward to connecting with each of you.

With gratitude,
Emily Peery
