GreenRun is a outstanding school from having to parts of GreenRun for students who live and district and are amazing program that goes by the name of GrenRun Collegiate. This school is for everyone are counselors and staff love our students like there own children. We have a great advanced program for AP students to get early college learning and also we provide anything that a student may need such as day to day essentials that can be found in the office. Our highschool is like a home we have many pep rally's and traditional days that gives off that early college vibe. As far as our athletics we are amazing. Coming from a football player as myself we are 4x regional district winners . This school produces college prospects on the field and also in the classroom #GoStallions.

Green Run is a great school and has really changed me in so many ways. The diversity and learning so many other cultures have taught me so much. The staff is so helpful and willing to go above and beyond for their students.

The best experiences at my school would have to be the friends I made there. I was able to find people to connect with and be able to learn from in many ways possible. I am extremely grateful for that part of my high school experience. However, the staff in this school didn't really seem like they made much of an effort towards our education and that truly disappointed me as someone that truly enjoys school.
