At approximately 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 28, 2008 power went out in Glenview in the area that included Glenbrook South High School. The power outage was due to a downed power line in the La Fontaine subdivision. Glenbrook South High School immediately contacted Commonwealth Edison who estimated that the power would not be restored until after 3:00 p.m. Police secured the area surrounding the downed power line and manned the light at Pfingsten and East Lake Avenue, and buses arrived on campus by 1:30 p.m. Superintendent Mike Riggle sent out a message to parents, and school was released at approximately 1:40 p.m.
At this point in time, power has been restored and school will be in session tomorrow. Athletic events will occur this evening as will the regularly scheduled band practice.
Thank you to the Glenview Police Department and the Glenbrook South faculty and staff for their outstanding help keeping our students safe during this time. Thank you also to our students and families for their orderly and respectful response to this situation.

School Begins - Pfingsten Paving
Dear GBS,
Welcome to the 2008 – 2009 school year! I am truly excited for this year and look forward to all our students will accomplish academically and within our extracurricular offerings.
School begins Wednesday, August 27, 2008. As you know Pfingsten Road continues to be resurfaced. Though GBS has communicated our start and end times with Cook County’s paving company to minimize the impact this needed work has on our families, please leave yourselves plenty of time for travel to and from school. Please also be patient and begin this year safely.
I will continue to email updates on work schedules as they are received from the paving company. We have been told that no lanes will be closed near the high school tomorrow, but note that there are no distinct lane lines, so please drive carefully.
Our athletic season is up and running and we wish all our teams well. This Friday our boys' soccer team plays Lake View at home at 5:30 p.m. and our football team plays GBN at GBN at 7:00 p.m. Please come out and support our teams. Students, remember that Fridays are spirit days. Please fill our halls with blue and gold clothing.
Here’s to a great year!
With Titan Pride,
Brian K. Wegley
