“South is a big change from my previous schools, but

in the best way. The little moments in the hellos/goodbyes, asking how our days were,and finding opportunities to connect about interests outside of academics have been such a simple joy in each class here at GBS. I am looking forward to getting involved outside of the classroom, with Orchesis and Hellenic Club.”

Elena Koufis, Social Studies Teacher

“As a student, I didn’t always understand why certain things were done a particular way. Now, as a teacher, I can see behind the scenes and better understand the reasoning and purpose behind how GBS operates. I’m looking forward to building strong relationships with my colleagues and students and making a positive difference in my students’ lives.”

Devonjae Hudson, Drivers Ed, PE, and Health Teacher

“I tell my freshman students that I’m a freshman too. It’s different, teaching at a new school, and a little bit overwhelming too, but chemistry is chemistry, and the students here are really nice. GBS is this huge school with all different people. I’m really looking forward to seeing the student activities, especially theater.”

Heather McGinley, Science Teacher

“It has been really great to see the district’s dedication to strengthen its Special Education department. The energy from both the staff and students has made me very excited to be a part of the Glenbrooks. I’m grateful to be joining such a welcoming community and am really looking forward to the school year!”

Carly Deditz, Special Education Teacher
