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. It returned as a four-year high school again in 1984.[2]

Athletics

Robert B. Glenn High School offers many sports. The 1986 boys Track & Field team won the 4A State Meet. The 1992 baseball team won the 1992 4A State Championship (27–2). State championships have been won recently in wrestling. Students can participate in any sport with a few requirements, additionally, most sports require students to "try-out".
