Originally established as a
grade school focused on teaching the trades, Glenwood began
offering freshmen and sophomore classes in the early 40s.
The on-campus program lasted more than 35 years but in the
mid-70s students were given the option of enrolling in a local
high school. Today the South and Rathje campuses are “home”
to about 60 teens. Rathje Campus students attend St. Edward’s
in Elgin; South Campus teens can enroll either at Bloom Township
High School or, if they pass a staff review and an entrance
test, Marian Catholic High School, both in Chicago Heights.
Even after high school graduation, Glenwood does all it can
to support students who need and deserve financial aid. If
we can find the funds, and the family demonstrates the need,
we may pay partial tuition for students who go on to pursue
an advanced degree.
