Sandy Grigsby

Middle & High School Math Teacher 

Education Background

• Georgia State University – B.S. in Secondary Math Education

Journey to Sandhills

Sandy spent 29 years in the insurance industry before making the leap to education, inspired by her experience homeschooling her son, who is dyslexic. She quickly discovered a passion for teaching and a deep appreciation for how differently wired students learn. After years of substitute teaching and home education, she joined Sandhills and immediately felt at home.

“Because of my experience with my son, I know that students with dyslexia and other learning differences are smart and can succeed. I believe in each and every one of these students.”

Why I Love about Teaching at Sandhills

Sandy values the small class sizes and the ability to give students personalized attention. She especially enjoys getting to know each child, building confidence in their math skills, and watching their growth over time.

“I love the strong sense of community here. Everyone is supportive and focused on helping students succeed.”

Favorite School Tradition

• Halloween Door Decorating Contest – Sandy loved seeing the creativity students brought to this fun, spirited competition. It’s a highlight of the fall season for her.

Life Outside of School

Sandy enjoys all things puzzles—from jigsaw and crosswords to logic games and word scrambles. She's also an avid pickleball player and finds joy in slow-paced, creative hobbies like cross stitch.
