AS UNIQUE AS
YOUR CHILD
(well, almost).
Students’ Academic Excellence Recognized with Cum Laude Society Induction
May 28th, 2020
This past week the Greenhills Chapter of the Cum Laude Society inducted new members for the 2019-20 academic year.

8TH GRADE CAPSTONE EVENT LIVES ON THROUGH DIGITAL PRESENTATION
May 24th, 2020
Mid-May is already upon us, and it's hard to believe that our academic year will draw to a close in several weeks. In a typical school year, we would be hosting two events focused on our 8th grader students - one of which is the 8th Grade Capstone Showcase. We host this event, as well as the 8th Grade Celebration, in an effort to honor our 8th graders' time with us over the last three years, to slow down a little these last weeks of school, and to recognize the transition to high school our students are about to make. This year, of course, we've had to find alternative ways to observe our year-end traditions.

SERVICE LEARNING: SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
April 09th, 2020
Times of crisis can bring out the best of humanity. Although the scope of this pandemic is uncertain, one constant has been the overwhelming outpouring of generosity. Whether working on the frontlines, sewing masks, donating blood or checking-in on elderly neighbors, there are many stellar moments of selflessness.

We see the 0.1%
that makes you, well,
YOU.
And we do our very best to draw it out daily. On average, any two people have 99.9% identical DNA. That means what makes you you is what comes from that remaining 0.1%. At Greenhills, we've crafted our entire 6th- through 12th-grade experience (and our approach to teaching) to unleash the full power of that 0.1%. So you can go out into the world — uniquely and confidently you. A one-of-a-kind work of art with the ability to do anything you set your very distinctive brain to.
