With only a few weeks left of school, don't get caught up with tardies. The first block starts at 8 a.m. SHARP! We recommend students be dropped off or arrive by 7:45 a.m. to ensure they are in Block 1 classes, seated, and ready to start the day when the bell rings. 

Can we trust the next generation to continue to move us forward with innovative technologies, engineering marvels, and scientific discoveries?  We already are...and we invite you to come see what they are doing!  

The students of GBS will host their 2023 STEM Showcase & Maker Faire on Wednesday, May 17, from 6:30-8:00 p.m.  With more than 250 students showing off amazing engineering projects, scientific research, and Maker Faire contraptions, attendees will see the next generation is being equipped to make the discoveries and lead the innovations of tomorrow. From a homemade electric bike, to a custom-made 3-D printer, to a robot that makes cookies, to a research team exploring a promising new rechargeable battery material, to a cloud chamber that captures the trails of high energy cosmic rays, the STEM Showcase & Maker Faire has something for everyone.  

On Thursday, May 18, GBS will hold the annual Honors & Awards Assembly for seniors starting at 8 a.m. For all other classes, this is a late arrival with classes starting at 10:40 a.m. 

To accommodate this schedule change, there will be two bus runs. The first run will take place at the usual time for seniors and any juniors who are attending the assembly. The second run will allow for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors to arrive at school by 10:40 a.m.  Please refer to the attached bus schedule for the specific bus pick up times for each route.

The Grad Night Committee is still seeking volunteers to help with the night of the event! Parents who help out at the venue will be expected to keep an eye on the doors, check the bathrooms and ride the buses to and from the venue. This is an excellent opportunity for parents of seniors to be part of their last event at GBS and for parents of underclassmen and juniors to see what's in store for their students. Email gbsgradnight@gmail.com to sign up.

Take advantage of the last class event of your high school career! The Enchanted Castle has arcade games, laser tag, bumper cars, and more. There will be food and raffle prizes, including some big-ticket items to help to get off to college! Sign up by paying the $75 fee through e-Funds/PowerSchool.

Glenbrook South High School is excited to share that more than 150 students have registered for the 2023-2024 internship course. The semester-long course gives high school seniors the opportunity to work in an industry in which they are interested before solidifying their post-secondary plans. 

Students enrolled in the course have completed an interest survey that assists the internship coordinators during the pairing process. Internship coordinators are actively recruiting businesses to host an intern. 

If your business or company has the capacity to host an intern for 60 hours next school year, please visit our internship webpage where you can learn more about the course and the business's responsibilities. 

Submitting a FAFSA or state aid application is a State of Illinois graduation requirement that went into effect in 2020. If a student and their parents/guardians still need to do so, the FAFSA application can be completed by visiting FAFSA.gov.

Students and their parent/guardian who choose not to complete the FAFSA must complete the FAFSA-Non-Participation Form and submit it to the College and Career Center to meet this requirement.

If students need to confirm completion, they can contact their school counselor or the College and Career Center.

The Lew Blond 5K Memorial Run/Walk is a family-friendly, community event for all abilities and age levels:
