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.
For the Greenhills girls tennis team, the past two weeks have felt less like a breakthrough and more like the arrival of something hard earned and long in the making. On May 9, the Gryphons won the Catholic High School League (CHSL) Bishop Division championship—the first league title in program history, which it split with perennial power Farmington Hills Mercy. Four days later, the team followed it up with a regional championship performance so dominant it bordered on historic: Greenhills won every single flight, earning a perfect 24 out of 24 possible points against one of the strongest regional fields in the state.
There’s a particular kind of energy that builds when a team refuses to let a game slip away—when effort compounds, belief spreads, and something improbable begins to feel inevitable. That energy was unmistakable on the field this week, as Greenhills girls soccer secured its place in the Catholic High School League (CHSL) playoffs in dramatic fashion.
Greenhills is fortunate to boast an alumni community that continues to give back and be engaged through a variety of avenues. Among the many ways that alums participate in the life of the school are as forensics and robotics coaches, on the Board of Trustees and Alumni Council, as visiting lecturers in the classroom and motivational speakers for team sports, and with providing professional networking opportunities for each other and current students.

There are moments when a program’s story bends; when past success meets a new challenge, and something even stronger emerges on the other side. Last weekend was one of those moments, with the Greenhills Upper School Forensics Team claiming the Michigan Interscholastic Forensic Association State Championship—its 18th in program history, and its first since moving up to Class B competition.
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.
Creating More Together is Greenhills School’s capital campaign to expand the physical heart of our school by creating more space for the arts, engineering and robotics, and togetherness itself. It’s an ambitious building project that includes:
