History

Robert B. Glenn High School opened in the fall of 1950, under the name of the 51st Governor of North Carolina, Robert Broadnax Glenn. In 1962, it became a junior high school with the opening of East Forsyth. In 1984, it returned as a four-year high school again.[2]

Athletics

Glenn's athletic programs include: Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Dance Team, Cheerleading, Softball, Cross Country, Swimming, Tennis, Football, Volleyball, Golf, Wrestling, Track, and Lacrosse.

The 1986 boys track & field team won the 4A State Outdoor Meet. The 1992 baseball team won the 1992 4A State Championship, finishing the season with a 27–2 record. Individual state championships have been won recently in wrestling.

Glenn's main rival is East Forsyth High School. In past football seasons, the Glenn-East game was one of the first games of the year. Now with both teams in the Piedmont-Triad 4A conference, it is the finale of the season.

Facilities

Glenn currently has a total of seven main classroom buildings, the newest one was built during the 2009–2010 school year and opened for the 2010–2011 school year. There are also two gyms, an auditorium, cafeteria, courtyard, dance studio, football stadium, and an office building plus a library.
