Glenbrook North High School is located in Northbrook, Illinois, a suburb north of the U.S. city of Chicago. The school is noted for its academic achievement and in 2003 received international attention over a hazing incident. Glenbrook North High School belongs to Northfield Township High School District 225 along with its sister high school, Glenbrook South High School.

In 1997 President Bill Clinton traveled to Glenbrook North High School and spoke on the importance of an internationally competitive American educational system. At the time Glenbrook North High School students were participating in an international mathematics and science study sponsored by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement. President Clinton also made reference to the students, who achieved very high scores in the study, in his 1997 State of the Union speech.

I was in student government in junior high, so I got to go to that presidential assembly lolololol. :cool:

In 1986, motion picture director and writer John Hughes, a 1968 graduate of Glenbrook North High School, used the campus for location shooting of the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. A familiar scene of the campus is when Ferris Bueller, played by Matthew Broderick, picks up Sloane Peterson, played by Mia Sara. The scene was shot in front of the Glenbrook North High School performing arts building. While some think the 1985 film The Breakfast Club was also filmed inside the school, it, as well as interior shots for Ferris, was filmed at Maine North High School.

John Hughes hated GBN and was ostracized for most of his academic career because he wasn't a predictable yuppy spawn who wanted to go to Northwestern and major in advertising like all the other pieces of shit he went to high school with. I can certainly relate.

During the summer of 2001, Glenbrook North High School made a brief appearance in the news. In a July 6th letter to parents of Glenbrook North High School students from school officials, it was announced a Glenbrook North High School teacher would undergo sexual reassignment surgery. The female teacher at the time had been teaching at the school for seven years. The letter stated the teacher would be returning as a male in the fall. Realizing the controversy of the issue, school officials deemed the matter to be a personal one and vowed not to allow it to interfere with classroom activities. School administrators as well as parents and students maintained an atmosphere of respect that allowed the teacher to return to work with few difficulties.

Ms. Travis became Mr. Fox. She who later became a he taught my freshman year unified science class. She was obsessed with Star Wars and cats, much like Dandy but with cankles, very small boobs, and a fondness for eating vagina.


In 2005 and 2006, the Boys Varsity Basketball team was nationally ranked and reached the Illinois State Quarter Finals 3 out of 4 years between 2003-2006. This included placing third place in 2003 and winning the IHSA AA State Championship in 2005. The team, coached by Dave Weber, brother of University of Illinois head coach Bruce Weber was led by star shooting guard Jon Scheyer who accepted a basketball scholarship to Duke University in 2005. The school has also won the state football and baseball championships in 1974, as well as the State Championship in baseball in 1966. Glenbrook North also won the state title in 1993 for mens volleyball and finished second in the state in 2003.

In May 2003 Glenbrook North High School found itself in one of the biggest challenges it has ever faced. An off-campus, non-school sanctioned event that turned into a major hazing incident created international attention.

The event was the annual "powder-puff" girls football game between a group of juniors and seniors. First begun as a fundraiser in 1977, the on-campus game was discontinued in 1980 because it was getting too rowdy. The annual game then went underground. School officials were usually able to break it up when they found out the date and time it was to be played.

The senior students who organized the 2003 game were able to keep the time and location secret, such a secret that some participants did not know when it would be held until about half an hour before it began. The invited junior female students paid $35 to participate. The fee covered the cost of an athletic jersey to wear and beer provided by some of the parents of senior students. The game took place on Sunday, May 4, 2003 in Chipilly Woods, A.K.A. Grant & Lee, part of the Cook County Forest Preserve District, at about 11:30 a.m. There was no playing of football. The hazing began as soon as the junior girls arrived. About 20 junior class participants were sat in the middle of a clearing while they were covered in paint, urine, feces, and animal guts. Some were shot with paintball guns, others were kicked and beaten. After it was over, at least five of the participants had injuries requiring medical attention, including one receiving stitches to her head.

I'm sure those parents hadn't been that proud of their little girls since their bat mitzvahs. :rolleyes:

Fucking high school. Now I remember why I never went.

I just moved and the local high school's nickname is the Golden Sandies. The mascot is a weird tornado looking cartoon character.

The Amarillo Golden Sandies.

My high school's nickname was the Blue Streaks. Opposing schools used to chant--What do smurfs have in their underwear---Blue Streaks!

[zorra_chiflada]

Why?

[Yeti]

High School can be a tough gig.

[Documad]

It's got a link to the name of my high school, but all it says is "closed" with the year of my graduation.

It appears that the "middle school" which we used to call "junior high" has reopened. I never heard that.

[QueenAdrock]

My old high school is pretty detailed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wootton_High_School

We have OAR and George Bush visits. Apparently, W visited in '01, my graduating year. I don't remember that though. I was probably skipping in order to get stoned at my friend's house.

My high school experience was most people's college's. Except more stupid drama and mood swings.

[Medellia]

Mine didn't have an entry. :(

Hahahaha, Andrew McVinnie was a weird little guy in the same year as me with a googlie eye and a penchant for laughing at his own jokes out loud in class and snorting like a pig. He even wore a tank commander's uniform replete with hat and medals on the fancy dress day.

Somebody is obviously having a laugh at his expense - perhaps it's him? :/
