I am so grateful that God brought my family to Greenhouse, where I attended from first grade through the end of high school. Greenhouse profoundly shaped who I am as a follower of Christ today. One of the most significant impacts was the emphasis on servant leadership—teaching us not just to lead, but to lead by serving others first. This foundation taught me that true leadership means being willing to do the hard things that others might avoid, all while keeping Christ at the center. Greenhouse didn't just educate me; it equipped me to help advance God's kingdom, and I know that the same is happening for students there today. God bless Greenhouse.
