Groh Public School is one of the Waterloo Region District School Board’s newly built schools. It opened in September 2017. Currently we serve approximately 820 students. Our school offers students a unique educational opportunity in a JK-8 school environment. Our aim is to ensure that when they leave us, students will be confident and prepared for the secondary school experience and beyond.
