“My grandfather instilled in me that education is the path to success in life.

We need a new high school if we want to continue moving Perry County forward.”
Gremaud is a third-generation farmer and lifelong resident of Perry County. He and his wife Patti have three children, Kelsea, Courtney, and Trenton, and three grandchildren, Mason, Aubrey, and Cooper.

Prior to his current role, Querry spent eight years as the Director of Technology for District 32 where he worked closely with staff and administration on district-wide technology, safety, and infrastructure initiatives.
Querry said his experience both within and outside of education gave him an appreciation for responsible planning, communication, and long-term decision making.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve on the board and look forward to listening, learning, and working collaboratively to support the future of our schools and community,” Querry said.
