Over the last few months GBS has been working with the Village of Glenview and the Cook County Department of Transportation to improve traffic flow around campus. On Tuesday, March 7, we will begin testing a recommendation for traffic flow on Robin Lane.

If you enter campus to park or drop off via Robin Lane, please adhere to the traffic directions of the security personnel rather than the stop signs. Security personnel will allow incoming traffic on Robin Lane to have a continual left turn flow into the student lot or right turn flow into the staff lot without stopping at the stop sign.   

Please be alert, drive slowly and follow the directions of traffic security personnel.

Drivers dropping students off may be paused to allow students to continuously turn into the lot to clear the intersection at Lake Ave and Robin Lane.  

We're excited to host "First Take" and "Audio Radiance" from The School for Music Vocations, under the direction of the Grammy-nominated Dr. Jeremy Fox. The concert will be at 7:30 p.m. in the Lyceum, (enter at Door “O” on the West Side). This concert is free but donations at the door will be accepted to help offset the travel costs for this group.  Glenbrook South’s very own “Scat That” will be the opening act. “First Take” just returned from being the only collegiate group selected to perform at the National Conference for the American Choral Directors Association.

Parents and guardians of the class of 2025 are invited to attend Sophomore Parent College Night this Wednesday at 7 p.m. GBS College Counselor John Klasen will introduce the college search process, testing options and the Naviance curriculum. The evening will end with a brief question & answer session.

Registration is strongly recommended for those planning to attend and can be completed via RSVP Google Form. Spanish, Korean and Mongolian translation will be available.

The Glenview Police Department will hold a series of training events at GBS Monday, March 6, through Wednesday, March 8, 2023 from 5:30 p.m. to approximately 11 p.m. During this time, the areas of the school that will be in use will be closed off, and signage and security personnel will be available to inform those in the building.  We are glad to host these training sessions and appreciate the close relationship that Glenbrook South has with the Glenview Police Department.  

GBS will host a job fair for all students on Wednesday, March 8, 2023, in the Lyceum. The event will take place during all lunch blocks from 11:21 a.m. to 1:36 p.m.
