Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

Welcome to Granite Falls Middle School!  My name is Josh Reed, and I am excited to be starting another new year alongside you and your family.  This year, I will be teaching science alongside my teammates Ms. Deanna Moyer (math and social studies) and Mr. Chris Collette (English Language Arts).

I graduated from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I grew up right here in Granite Falls.  I began my teaching career in 2015, and I have had the privilege of teaching in 8th, 7th, and 6th grade. I was drawn to the field of education by my own passion for learning and inspiring a love of learning in young people.  My mom is also a middle school math and science teacher, and I have spent many years tutoring middle and high school students.  I know that all students can be successful in school, and I am excited to get to celebrate that with you.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of my students and their families here in Granite Falls.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to email me at joreed@caldwellschools.com.  I believe that education is a partnership between the teacher, the student, and the home.  I hope I can count on your support in making this a wonderful year for your student.

Go Blue Demons!
