Glenelg High School is thrilled to announce some very exciting events that we will be provided to the students on September 9, 2019! Ninth grade students will be participating in an off-campus experience; One Glenelg Day. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors will participate in Gladiator’s Skills for Success Day. Attached you will find a workshop overview for each respective grade.

In years past we have had a few issues in the morning with traffic. We understand that the auditorium (west) drop off location gets backed up and this makes it hard for a quick and easy drop-off. We wanted to reach out before the start of school and encourage parents to drop their students off in the baseball (east) lot. The doors on the rear and side of the building are open until 7:25 am for students and staff. The best part is, the baseball lot has less traffic, is an easier in and out than the auditorium drop off, and you will no longer need to battle with any buses when you arrive.

For those who were unable to attend the Glenelg High School Back to School Night on August 29, 2019, or just wanted to reread the information. We have provided the slide that was shown to the parents prior to visiting the classrooms.
