Carmen Gwenigale, Inspiring Global Citizenship in Iowa
Growing up, Carmen did not see herself as a teacher, but those who knew her definitely saw it coming. She had such a passion for school and reading that when school was out during the summer, she would gather the neighborhood kids together and pretend to be a teacher.

At Grant Wood we focus not only on providing our Wildcat scholars a rigorous and equitable educational experience, but a safe one as well. Grant Wood is committed to being Safe, Kind, & Responsible each day - to strive daily to carry ourselves in the Wildcat Way. Being safe includes physical, emotional, and mental health safety. Being kind helps us ensure that our actions and words towards ourselves and others are in fact safe. Understanding the importance of being safe and kind reminds us each day that we all carry the responsibility of creating a positive, supportive, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment throughout our school community.I wake up each day feeling great pride and respect for our Wildcats, and am eager to work with all of our staff, students, and their families. Our diverse Grant Wood community is extremely proud of our dedicated teachers, outstanding students, and supportive families; together, we offer a welcoming, caring, and supportive learning environment for all our scholars.
Welcome to Grant Wood and to the ongoing journey of becoming independent life-long learners.
