WhenGlenbrookSouthHighSchoolopenedits doorsin Septemberof1962,aquestioncommonlyvoicedin theGlenviewcommunitywas,“Whyonearth aretheybuilding aschoolwayout in themiddleof thatcornfield?”Well, the cornfield is gonenow, thenearbycountryroadsaremajor thor-oughfares, and the school has grown into a complexof buildings on its80-acresitethat is designed tomeet theneedsof avastpanoramaof students.

Somenineyearsearlier,GlenbrookHighSchool(presently GlenbrookNorth) hadopenedits doorsto students of the villagesof GlenviewandNorthbrook. When voters first approved the formation of NorthfieldTownship SchoolDistrict 225 in April of 1947,theypresumedthat theonecampuswould serveall future demandsuponthedistrict. However,by thelate1950’spopulation studiesmadeit clearthatasecondhighschoolwouldbe neededto accommodate the growing influx of residents in the highschooldistrict.Thesiteat thenorthwestcornerof PfingstenRoadandWestLake Avenue was approved in 1960 at a cost of $3,850,000.Studentsattending thenewGlenbrook SouthHigh Schoolwould live within theareaborderedon theeastbyWagnerRoad,thewest by MilwaukeeAvenue,thenorth byWillow Road,andthesouthby CentralRoad.

Theschool’s present668,000squarefoot buildingcomplexdoeslittleto revealits humbleorigin: the brand-new1962building consistedof onlythe east academicwing, the library, the gymnasium, and the auditorium.Whereassome 1,500seats werelaterbuilt into theauditorium, therewereoriginally only folding chairs.

Within five years, however,theoriginal physical structuredoubledinsizetomeet themushroomingenrollmentandto betterfulfill studentneeds.Theadditionsincluded thewest academicwing, industrial educationfacili ties,theswimmingpool, and StudentServicesoffices.Thepresent building alsofeaturesa largemultimedia instructional center/library,individual resourcecentersfor variousdepartments, fully equippedsciencelabs,agreenhouse,two physical education centers, andstate-of-the-art facilities for computerinstruction, industrial education, art, music, foreign language,and homeeconomics programs.The entire complex is fully air-conditioned. In thespring of 1991,amajorbuildingprojectwascompletedthatincludedafieldhouse,aneastacademicaddition andaperformingartscomplex.In thefallof 1996,anacademic addition, wasaddedto thesouth sideof thebuilding.

In the fall of 2002,a $32 million constructionprojectwascompletedwhichaddedacademicclassroomsto thenortheastandsouthwestwingsofthebuilding, andanew bandroom,danceroom,weightroom,andstudentcafeteria. The secondfloors of the two academic wings were connectedwith a secondfloor aboveStudentServices.Thegymnasiumlockerroomswere renovated, and the heating andair conditioning system for the entirebuildingwasreplaced.

In November2006, a referendumwas passedto maintain qualityacademic programsandto updateagingfacilitiesatGlenbrookSouth.Mostimportantly, staffing levels weremaintained.During thesummerof 2007,eight scienceclassroomswererenovatedalongwith theorchestraroom. The

GLENBROOK CODE OF CONDUCT

PhilosophyGlenbrook High School officials, coaches of athletic teams and sponsors of student activitiesbelieve that students who are selected for the privilege of participation on teams,squads, performing groups, clubs and other school organizations should conduct them-selves as responsible representatives of the school. In order to assure this conduct,coaches and sponsors enforce a Code of Conduct. Furthermore, members of teamsand organizations who fail to abide by the Code of Conduct are subject to immediatedisciplinary action. Members of teams and organizations must always serve as exemplarsof high moral character and must demonstrate appropriate academic commitmentwhich is expected from all students. As recognized representatives of their school,participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior during the season (activity)or out of season, in uniform or out of uniform, on campus or off campus.

SECTION A – Rules and GuidelinesThe Glenbrook High School District has as its primary goal the academic education, as well as the physical and social development of all students. Therefore,students are expected to demonstrate good citizenship by following all school rules;local, state and federal laws; and comply with all Illinois High School Association by-laws and eligibility requirements.1. Violations of any of the following will be considered violations of the Glenbrook

Code of Conduct and will subject the violator to disciplinary action:a. school rules as described in the Students Rights and Responsibilities

section of the Student-Parent Handbook;b. local ordinances;c. state and federal laws;d. the display of proper sportsmanship at a school activity, competition, or

event.2. Attending parties or gatherings where illegal substances or tobacco products may

be present is strongly discouraged. The district’s concern for the health and overallwelfare of its students is at issue along with the potential for problems that mayface the district’s students in such situations. The district encourages its studentsto make responsible choices.

3. It is the expectation of the school that students will be in attendance and fully participate in normal school activities on the day of an event, activity or contest.The administration reserves the right to limit participation of students in cases ofnon-attendance at school.

4. School officials are not expected to monitor off-campus, non-school activitiesunless the violation is brought to their attention, is sufficiently severe to bring discredit upon the Glenbrook organization, and said conduct is reasonably proven.

5. Each coach or sponsor has the prerogative to establish additional rules pertainingto the activity supervised which do not conflict with this Code of Conduct. Suchrules may include attendance at practices, curfew, dress and general conduct ofparticipants during practices, contests, trips, etc. Rules set by the individual coachor sponsor must be in writing with the approval of the Director of Athletics or theDirector of Student Activities and communicated in writing to the student partic-ipants before his/her activity begins.

6. Students suspended from school will not be allowed to participate in activities orathletics while they are on suspension. Additional consequences from the athleticor student activities department may also follow.

7. The Dean’s Office will be notified of all violations of the Code of Conduct and theconsequences of the infraction. In addition to the penalties imposed by the Codeof Conduct, such infractions will also be subject to appropriate Board ofEducation disciplinary policies.

SECTION B – ProceduresA student may be suspended from participation in any activity according to the following procedures:1. All reports of violations of the Code of Conduct are to be made either to the

Director of Athletics or to the Director of Student Activities.2. The director of the respective activity shall contact the student, parents, coach or

sponsor to inform them of the violation and the procedures to be followed. Ifrequested in writing, a meeting shall be scheduled within three (3) school days.This meeting shall include the director of the activity, the student, his/her parents,if they desire, and the student’s coach or sponsor.

3. The director and coach or sponsor will determine the course of action. The studentand his/her parents shall be notified of the decision immediately.

4. Any student who violates the guidelines and/or does not satisfactorily completethe season or activity may not be eligible for any awards or special recognitiongiven for participation in the activity. Furthermore, a student who holds an electedor appointed office or position (i.e., peer leader, team captain, student organizationofficer) may be required to relinquish said position upon violation of the guidelines.

5. Penalties will be applied in every activity in which a student participates. Penaltieswill be applied in the current or upcoming sport and/or performance activity inwhich a student participates. Any offense constitutes a violation for the purposesof all activities covered under the guidelines.

SECTION C –Guidelines for ActionConsequences for Code of Conduct infractions by athletes and activity participantsare determined by the following guidelines. There is no differentiation of consequencesfor in-season or out-of-season participation, and a penalty may carry over from season to season and/or year to year.
