Don't Be Late: School Starts at 8 a.m. Sharp!

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. 

 

GBS Internship Is Seeking Hosting Partners

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.
