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.
