GRHC - 2008
The arch of the main entrance of the school features American Indian sculptures and motifs. The decorative columns on the main level are repeated between the windows of the second level. In the center, over the doors, is a sculpture of an Indian head in profile. The Indian theme reflected the name of the area and the school, Ottawa Hills.
