Welcome to Renner: Grant Williams, Third Grade Teacher
From Mr. Williams:
I am delighted to be teaching at Renner Elementary next school year! Park Hill has a special place in my heart. I graduated from Park Hill High School in 2013. I attended Renner briefly as a child and cannot wait to make the return as a teacher!
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and playing board games. I am a big aviation enthusiast and dream of earning my pilot's license in the future. I currently teach 2nd grade for the Kansas City Public Schools, and recently completed my Master's in Education at Park University. Go Roadrunners!
