Attending professionals representing more than 30 career fields interacted with students via Career Fair tables, demonstrations and small group presentations. John Glenn Business Club students served as liaisons for the guests.

“On behalf of John Glenn High School and the Elwood community, we would like to thank the visiting professionals for volunteering their time to promote our students’ career interests,” Principal Corey McNamara said. As an educational establishment, it has always been our goal to help guide our students to become productive citizens beyond our school walls.”

In consultation with the vendor who recently installed the sod football field at Elwood-John H. Glenn High School and the district’s construction manager, it has been recommended that the field not be used for daily sports team activity until August 2024. The sod is still growing and rooting down to the soil, so more time is needed for it to fully cure.

Additionally, the high school track has been reopened and ADA-accessible walks installed as part of capital improvement work for the final Phase 4 of the bond project approved by the community in 2017. The track was reopened earlier this year and is currently being utilized by our track teams.
