John H. Glenn High School
I don't think the changes in the students schedule will fulfill students academic needs, or increase their grades or make them better students. It will contribute only to offer teachers more work time ($). As a family, we have hour own schedule and this change will affect us tremendously. I wonder how many more families will be affected just because this new principal came with such "great ideas".

This is the worst of the nlmusd, the school is in poor condition and could use some care, the staff tries very hard but no support is give by the district, football is poor due to the lack of funds and poor support.
Why are the other schools in this district given what is needed and not this school?
