Activities & Arts
For over 50 years, Glenbrook North has celebrated its four “A’s” - Academics, Activities, Arts and Athletics. Our clubs and organizations complement student life and help to make GBN a special place. We are constantly looking for new ideas and ways to get students and the community involved in our activities so they can experience the pride and loyalty of Glenbrook North High School. Research overwhelmingly demonstrates the value of student involvement in extra-curricular activities.
The experience students gain from planning activities, leading student groups, or participating in service work promotes social and emotional growth. Involvement in student activities provides a meaningful connection with adults and peers outside of the regular school day and cultivates healthy relationships and teamwork. We invite students to join an activity or club.
If students leave school at 3:15 p.m. everyday, they are turning away life-changing opportunities. If students are uncertain about what to get involved in, stop by the Student Activities Office and we can help find the right fit. Expand your horizons and become part of the Spartan Family!
This webpage serves as a hub for all things Activities-related; however, we realize there is often overlap with Arts and Academics. We encourge you to explore those department webpages as well.
