• History & Memorable Moments

Glenbard West was the first of the Glenbard high schools to be built, and was originally referred to as simply 'Glenbard'. The school was built in the style of a castle, complete with roof turrets, atop what was then called Honeysuckle Hill in 1922, purchased for the sum of $1. The 1991 television documentary Yearbook was filmed here. It was also featured in the book The Girl Who Owned A City by O.T. Nelson. Large portions of the 1986 film Lucas were shot in and around the school. Glenbard also figures prominently in the award-winning young adult novel Say Goodnight, Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver.^[1]

Glenbard West High School, or GWHS (also GBW), and locally referred to as "West," is a public four-year high school located at the corner of Ellyn Avenue and Crescent Boulevard in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.
