THANK YOU
If you read my letter in the latest issue of the Forum magazine, and the coinciding “Cost of Independence” feature story, you’ll know that I am incredibly proud of the way our school operates. That includes being good stewards of the gifts entrusted to us by the Greenhills community. Much of what philanthropy makes possible is highlighted here in this report—including keeping teacher salaries in the 90th percentile of peer schools while tuition is in the lowest 25th percentile, and making more than $3.1 million in tuition assistance available to families each year.
The culture of giving at Greenhills is what enables the school to have such an outsized impact on our students. Thank you for your generous support.
Sincerely,
Peter B. Fayroian

Keeping Greenhills Accessible and Inclusive
Without your generous support, a Greenhills education would be out of reach for all but the most affluent members of the Greenhills community. And the student body would not reflect the incredible diversity of neighborhoods, socioeconomic status, races, and religions as it does.
