The Glenelg High School food drive collected 2,000 pounds of food—that’s equivalent to 1,660 meals for our neighbors in need! We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in your drive. Since we were able to hit our goal of 3,141 items donated, a generous donation of $1000.00 dollars was also donated in Glenelg High Schools honor. We appreciate the donor for supporting our cause. We want to thank all of the students and families who helped by donating these items. We appreciate all of you and your continued acts of kindness.

Dear Glenelg families, Today marks the start of our next phase of the distance learning model with high school students. By 9:00 a.m. today, teachers are posting assignments in Canvas. Students should check each of their teacher’s homepages to ensure that they are able to access these activities. During this orientation week, the learning activities and assignments should take one hour or less to complete per class. Students will be able to work independently to complete the tasks throughout the week and will submit work through Canvas by 10:00 a.m. on Friday, April 17, 2020.

We are so proud of the wonderful work our students are doing to help during this time. Glenelg High School robotics team redirects focus to making masks, face shields during pandemic.

GHS is having virtual spirit weeks so that everyone can feel a little less isolated from each other and enjoy some school spirit! Each day will have a different theme with directions on Instagram and Canvas. Post spirit-day themed posts and stories on Instagram with #ghsspirit2020. For students and teachers without Instagram, feel free to email your photos.

Please take a moment to see the wonderful work our student Amy Hwang is doing during this time. An article in the Baltimore Sun was written about the music lessons she is virtually teaching to help other students continue their passion for music.
