The Week Ahead for 9/18-9/24...
This week's Alumni Spotlight is Nick Griswold '00.
Best Memory from School:
One of my best memories from school was playing on the golf team. It was an incredible experience that not only allowed me to improve my golf skills but also created a lifelong love of the sport.
Favorite Class/Activity:
My favorite class was Yearbook, which I had the pleasure of taking with Mrs. Talentino and later Mr. Fountain. Working on the yearbook allowed me to develop my creativity, organization skills, and collaborate with a talented team. I’m really proud of the award-winning yearbooks we put out in the late 90s.
Advice for Students:
One of the most important pieces of advice I can give to students is to be willing to work hard for your goals and dreams. While I didn't have the highest GPA during my time at RHS, I learned that putting in the extra effort and being willing to work hard can make a significant difference. This mindset continued to serve me well in my education at Ferris State University and has been a big reason for my career success today. Don't be discouraged by setbacks or comparing yourself to others. Focus on your own growth and be persistent!
After high school:
I pursued higher education at Ferris State University, where I studied Accountancy. Following my graduation in 2004, I worked in public education, gaining valuable experience in the field. Currently, I am the CEO of Growth Works, a behavioral healthcare and case management organization that serves about 2,000 clients a year in southeast Michigan. It's a rewarding role where I can make a positive impact on individuals' lives and contribute to the well-being of our community.
Its been an exciting start to the school year. Mrs. Pearsall's physical science class has dove right into some awesome hands on learning!
