Glenbrook Fact Sheet


School History

Glenbrook was constructed in the early 1900s as a grade school that eventually turned into Pulaski High School. It was converted back into a grade school in the 1970s. Since then, the building has seen many additions and transformations.

During the 1990s, the District saw an increase in students. In 1998, the District passed a referendum to build a new high school allowing the development of the Pulaski Community Middle School. Because of this, all of the elementary schools, including Glenbrook, became a K-5 school.
