What motivates me?…a job well done. I never settle for mediocrity. There’s no room for it in my day…or in my life. Doing my best affects my work and my family. My daughters are in the last phase of high school…Forest Hills in Grand Rapids. The school district has the highest test scores in the State of Michigan. They don’t settle for “average”. Smaller size classes and moderately-sized total enrollment allows kids to excel in a variety of areas, if they desire. With the growth of Forest Hills District, we have seen Forest Hills Fine Arts Center affect the social and creative outlets for the citizens of Grand Rapids.The Cascade Library recently installed a windmill and solar panels to educate Forest Hills students the value of alternative energy and going “green”. Goodwillie Environmental School and the Spanish and Chinese Emersion Schools prepare Forest Hills students to succeed in today’s world. Forest Hills Schools were far ahead of the “No Child Left Behind” initiative. Walking and bike paths, new and existing parks the Thornapple River and new athletic centers create a healthy environment for people of all ages. Forest Hills also offers great golfing and superb dining. International businesses centered in Forest Hills and Grand Rapids, have produced some of the most philanthropic people in the world. The new Medical Mile has placed us at the forefront of today’s healthcare. It’s a GREAT place to be. It’s a great place to learn, to grow, and to dream!
