By Lucy Peterson

As the school year turns to October, many members of the BHS community may have already had the opportunity to meet all the new teachers and staff at Branford High School. To help introduce the new staff to BHS, The Branford Buzz began featuring the new teachers earlier this month. The Buzz has been publishing Q & A interviews with all the new staff members and this is the final installment of the series.

Today’s feature is on Ms. Bridget Grenier, who is a social studies teacher.

Why did you become a teacher?

I taught for 3 years in Norwalk but recently moved to Hamden and got this new job in Branford

What do you like about BHS?

I love the school spirit!

Tell me about your family or your interests.

I live at home with my partner and our dog Daisy. I’m big into reading and doing puzzles

What is a favorite book, song, movie, or TV show and why?
