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.

CATHY RENAUD: THE GIFT OF BEING A STUDENT’S MOST INFLUENTIAL TEACHER
May 15th, 2024
On March 13, 2024 I received a text message from Gabe Seir, who graduated from Greenhills in 2020 and is a current senior at Stanford studying biomedical engineering. He said he recently received some exciting news from Stanford and hoped to share it with me. It was the middle of the school day, so we set a time to connect later that afternoon. I wasn’t sure what news he had to share, but I was very curious to hear more. What he shared with me was that he was in the top one percent of his graduating class in engineering and, as a result, was the recipient of the Frederick Emmons Terman Engineering Scholastic Award.
