“I feel so incredibly lucky to have attended such a wonderful school that fostered my learning and growth. Learning what works best for me helped me grow into the person I am today. I know without a doubt I wouldn’t be where I am without the foundation I created at Groves. I loved being surrounded by students who accepted me and gave me the confidence to be myself. Groves also gave me my best friends, who are still a huge part of my life, and I’m so grateful for that.” –Sara Anderson, 2006-2013
