We already knew we were awesome, but now we have a ranking to prove it! Greenwood was named as one of the best private schools in Missouri in a recent article by the Kansas City Star. Schools were scored based on academics and grades, but other factors included culture and diversity, health and safety, clubs and activities, resources, and surveys of parents, teachers and students. We are also the only private school in our area mentioned. It's great to be a Greenwood Bluejay!

In the chemistry lab, it is sometimes necessary to experimentally determine the concentration of an acid or base solution. A procedure for making this kind of determination is called an acid-base titration. Ms. Gilmore’s Advanced Chemistry class demonstrates this valuable lab.
