Rants & Raves A RAVE to the Spring SPC! There’s nothing quite like travelling on a coach bus with your teammates to the gorgeous city of Houston, Texas. Pushing through the sea of Greenhill students at Buc-ee’s to stock up on meals and snacks for the next few days is a whole experience that makes the four-hour bus ride worth it.
A RANT to the end of year scheduling process. Having to plan out your class schedule can get stressful for us, especially since we can barely make weekend plans. Having to manually re-do our schedules in advisory is tedious and repetitive. I say we find a more convenient way that doesn’t take four rounds of edits to complete.

features editor A RANT to the class of 2019 leaving us. Knowing that our beloved seniors won’t be filling up our sports teams, classes, and clubs next year has us all feeling sad. We wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors, but promise to visit us every once in a while okay?

sports editor A RAVE to this school year coming to end! Although I know most of us will miss wandering these hallways over the break, it’s about time we get some space for ourselves. Our lack of classes has us all feeling like we are living in the ‘High School Musical’ summer scene.

A RAVE to the first Greenhill Upper School lipsynching battle during F-day assembly. Mr. Mercurio came out strong with a fog machine and guitar, only to be followed by Mr. Sandler’s live rendition of Elsa’s “Let it Go.” Big congrats to Ron Hall whose “Sunday Candy” performance won him the lip-synching award assembly.
A RANT to exams. With AP exams, students can be seen walking over to the Greenhill Towers at random times throughout the day, only to, wait for it, come BACK to classes after. Now we love the fun classes we take, but our brains have run out of gas after taking 3-5 hour exams. So, please help us preserve our grades and dignity!
