WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE MURALS IN THE AUDITORIUM?
An inventory of heritage cultural assets was made before the Grant modernization began. The two murals on either side of the stage in the auditorium were found to be the most valuable cultural heritage holdings in Grant High School. Learn more about the plan to restore the murals to their former glory by clicking here. We urge your donations and support to help letting others know about the restoration project.
Please consider making a donation to the US Grant High School Alumni Association, Fletcher Murals Restoration Fund this year.
