KATIE ’10
"The friendships I made at Greenhill endure today, and those friends remain some of my very dearest to this day. Alongside the support of my family, Greenhill’s rigorous academics, incredible faculty, exposure to the arts and commitment to service helped shaped me into the person I am today. That foundation has guided my path in the 10+ years since. I think the Alumni Board is a great way to connect with fellow alumni across classes, re-engage with faculty and help play a small role alongside those who are committed to helping shape the future of Greenhill."

"Throughout my time at Greenhill, teachers used Socratic Seminars allowing students to pose questions to the class that lead to an open discussion and discourse. This forced me to analyze the reading/work the night before and come prepared to share my opinion and questions. This exercise forced me to practice analyzing a subset of materials, effectively articulating my findings, and active listening. I often find myself leveraging these tools at work."
COURTNEY '06
"Greenhill to me means freedom of thought and expression. When I came to Greenhill in high school, I finally felt the space to learn in my own way. My teachers encouraged individual thinking in a collaborative environment and allowed me to challenge ideas freely. I’m thankful to Greenhill for fostering this critical thinking skill and a love of learning that has proven invaluable in my professional and personal life."
