Gary M. Grandon, Principal

Asked what attracted him to the American Hebrew Academy, Gary Grandon answers like most of the school's leaders: "I look forward to helping build a new school, from its technical infrastructure, hands-on technology implementation, and teaching of students."

Over the course of his career, Dr. Grandon has taught high school physics, served as the Associate Executive Director for Technical Services at the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, Associate Director of the University of South Florida's Computing Center, Director of Academic Computing at UNC-Greensboro, and eventually was named Associate Vice Chancellor for Information Technology at UNC-Greensboro.

"I've always enjoyed science and working with teenagers. These interests converged for me in the study of Educational Psychology; I earned a Ph.D. in evaluation and measurement (research methods and statistical computing)."

"My interests all come together at the Academy, where I have the opportunity to create the most technologically advanced learning environment yet to be created."
