Glenwood High School 1958-1975

History

Glenwood High School (1958-1975) was opened in 1958 to accommodate the growing population in Plain Township. The vast farmlands of the community were quickly turning into housing allotments. The site was chosen for its central geographic location in the school district and included enough space for a football stadium, administration building and bus garage.

Fight Song

1958-1962 – Original Version to “Across the Field”:

Fight the team across the field
Show them that Glenwood’s here,
Set the earth reverberating
With a mighty cheer,
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Hit them hard and see how they fall,
Never let that team get the ball,
Hail, Hail, the gang’s all here,
And we’ll beat (insert opposing school here, i.e. Jackson high) tonight!
Hail to Glenwood. Hail to Glenwood High. Hail to Glenwood. Hail to Glenwood High.
Rah! Rah! Rah!
(Repeat first verse)

We’re gonna win, Eagles win, for
