Top-Ranked Girls Golf Team Eyes Postseason
October 1st, 2024
The expectations have been high for this year’s Greenhills girls golf team. The Gryphons are following up on an outstanding 2023 season, where the team finished fourth at the state championship and then-junior Mia Melendez won her third consecutive individual state title. As the players look to improve on last year’s results, they’re doing it one stroke at a time, building each other up, and finding success on the green. Greenhills is currently ranked first in the Catholic High School League (CHSL) standings, with a 4-0 record in league play, and is second in the state among Division 4 teams overall.
Girls Swim Team Rises Up the Ranks
September 30th, 2024
The Greenhills girls swim team—a co-op that competes with athletes from Whitmore Lake High School and St. Catherine of Siena Academy—is now in its third year and already becoming the team to beat in the Catholic High School League (CHSL). As many as seven swimmers are expected to qualify for states this year—a staggering amount, considering most teams only send one or two athletes—and one swimmer has already qualified for the Michigan Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (MISCA) meet, which is similar to qualifying for states.
BOYS VARSITY TENNIS LEVELS UP
September 19th, 2024
The boys varsity tennis season is underway, and this year, the competition is fierce. After winning the state title in Division 4 last year, the Greenhills team made the choice to move up to Division 3 in search of stronger competition. That’s just what they’ve found, and a deep roster of talented players, work ethic, and positive team culture are keeping the Gryphons one of the best teams in the state.
Makayla Harris ’21: Balancing D1 Athletics, Academics, and a Curious Mind
September 17th, 2024
Young Alumni Achievers As an incoming scholar and Division 1 athlete in track and field at Yale in the fall of 2021, Greenhills alum Makayla Harris thought her first year of college would be demanding. She knew the academics would be rigorous, and track and field commitments would take up around 13 hours of her week, so she decided against participating in any extracurricular activities her first year. But the successful student habits and study skills that Greenhills armed her with allowed her to more than rise to the challenge.
Alumni Profile: Peter Ross ’85
September 17th, 2024
Peter Ross ’85 is a Brooklyn-based commercial and creative photographer with a client portfolio that reads like a list of the most prominent businesses, designers, institutions, and magazines in the world. But the first publication he ever shot for was Forward, Greenhills School's yearbook. The Alumni Office recently caught up with Ross to learn more about his journey from an earnest student with a used camera to one of today's most sought-after portrait photographers, and how it feels to be celebrating his 40th reunion next summer.

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.
