School Counselors
The School Counseling program at Glenbrook South is designed to help students learn about themselves, identify their interests, investigate the world of work and take direct action to build lifelong competencies while in high school. High school students are faced with the prospect of numerous and diverse choices in post-secondary planning. In any decision-making process, gathering information is the key step. To achieve these objectives, students and parents are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities and programs throughout a student's four years of high school.
Health Information
Nurses Office
The Glenbrook South Nurses' Office is available to all students during school hours. Led by a Certified School Nurse, the nursing team provides a significant amount of services to students and families.
Glenbrook School Health Center (GSHC)
The purpose of a school health center is to provide students and staff members with access to quality medical care that supports their health and keeps them in school. The Glenbrook School Health Center (GSHC) is designed to complement the services offered by the school nurse for students who may need more complex care.
Medical records remain confidential between the patient, family and our operating partner. Parents may authorize information to be shared with the school by completing a separate consent form available from the GSHC staff.

Bell Schedule
Parent-Student Handbook
Glenbrook High School District 225 believes that clear communication and mutual understanding are key to creating a successful learning environment for our students. Designed for easy navigation, our parent and student handbook is organized into chapters and sections, allowing you to find information effortlessly. Additionally, we've provided convenient links to our Board Policies, procedures, and forms.
Transportation Services
Glenbrook High School District 225 contracts with Safeway Transportation Services to provide safe, reliable bus transportation to students who purchase an annual bus pass.
Students are required to present a physical bus pass to the bus driver upon boarding the bus (a digital student ID will not work for this purpose). Bus passes will be issued to students after the first Friday of August. Students purchasing a bus pass after they have been distributed, can obtain one from the bookstore.
Peer Group Program
The Glenbrook Peer Group Program was founded in 1974 to help participating students have a positive experience in high school and better cope with the pressures of adolescence. Recognizing the influence of peers on each other and affirming our faith in the abilities of teens to help each other, senior Peer Group leaders meet with underclassmen in small groups. Within these groups, the leaders encourage cooperation, the development of relationships and the exchange of useful information. For most students, the results are a feeling of belonging and acceptance which help support them in their daily lives, in and out of school.
