For Lynne Gruneberg, growing up on Madison’s west side meant more than just attending school—it meant building lifelong friendships, discovering new passions, and gaining experiences that continue to shape her today. A proud graduate of Memorial High School’s Class of 2008, she began her educational journey at Huegel Elementary and Toki Middle before making her mark as a Spartan.
