What was new in 2021-22:

The Math, World Languages, and Social Studies Resource Centers received new, student-friendly furniture to kick off the 2021-22 school year.

What challenges did the Class of 2022 face as they returned to in-person school full time, and how did they overcome them:

The Class of 2022 demonstrated great spirit, dedication, and resilience in their final year of high school. We all understand the impact the pandemic has had on our daily lives, but as we consider the normal challenges of high school it is truly remarkable to witness how this class was able to lead a return to a much more traditional school year. I think it is also important to recognize that this not only assured the senior class of a wonderful experience but was a model for the rest of our students to look up to and strive to emulate as they continue their high school careers.

Principal's reflections on the Class of 2022: The Class of 2022 has carved out a special place at Glenbrook North with the level of achievement across all aspects of our school. Our students were able to reach new heights across academics, activities, the arts, and athletics and supported each other along the way.
