Imagine a school wholeheartedly dedicated to creating a learning experience around the unique needs and passions of each student. That’s Greenhills. In intensely smart classes, our teachers push students to know the depth of what they’re truly capable of — from Jazz and 2D Design to Conceptual Physics.
Earns Funding for Multidisciplinary Student Project Greenhills science teacher Brandon Groff has been named the 2024 National Educator of the Year by the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). He was recognized for creating innovative learning opportunities for students, both inside and outside of the classroom, and for his work to involve students in conservation efforts with outside organizations. This award includes $5,000 to develop interpretive signage for the Northfield Woods Preserve and work on the Parker Mill County Park and Forest Nature Area.
Greenhills seniors Shira Hanauer and Skyla Shea received the Distinguished Poster Award at the 2024 American Medical Informatics Association (AMAI) Annual Symposium, held November 9–13 in San Francisco. More than 2,400 attendees registered for the event, and poster abstracts were submitted by 507 college professors, graduate students, and a select few high school students. Only 328 posters would be accepted and just 10 received the Distinguished Poster Award.
Greenhills students have been showcasing their creativity and artistry in the greater Ann Arbor-area art scene. In recent months, their work has been displayed in prominent galleries and community spaces, and been recognized by peers, teachers, and judges alike. And they’re finding support from teachers who understand the courage and confidence it takes to put yourself out there.
As the 2024-2025 season of cross country winds down, the Greenhills team has a lot to be proud of. This year the Gryphons moved to a new region, introducing fresh competition. The girls squad has seen a resurgence, and the boys and girls teams both had outstanding showings at last weekend’s Catholic High School League (CHSL) championship—including a second place team finish for the boys and third for the girls, as well as the first place girls individual finisher. Now, the team is turning its focus to this weekend’s regional championship and state finals in November.
At this point in the girls volleyball season, it’s clear that the Greenhills team will finish with another great record. The team has 18 wins and only six losses, and those losses have come against some of the best teams in the state. But for the Gryphons, competing on the volleyball team is about much more than their record; it’s an experience, and an opportunity to learn lessons that will benefit athletes long after they’ve left the court.
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.
