Attending Greenhouse for my high school years gave me confidence both academically and socially. My teachers challenged me to work hard and strive for excellence, while also serving as spiritual role models for me. They, along with the rest of the staff at Greenhouse, modeled how to have a heart of service for others.
I looked forward every week to time spent with my classmates, who made me laugh, spurred me on in my faith and studies, and provided me with countless cherished memories over the years.
When I entered college, my workload was by no means easy; however, my education at Greenhouse was more than adequate to prepare me for the transition. I especially credit the purifying fire of Mrs. Gottlieb's Senior Composition/Thesis class for the writing skills that have served me well through college and numerous jobs.
I am so grateful for the experience I had at Greenhouse; there is truly nothing else like it.
