Small Community—
Big Learning Opportunities

The community of Glenwood is a slice of Americana where caring citizens value the best that life has to offer—including a solid commitment to education. In Glenwood, tradition is honored and relations are valued. Community members warmly embrace all citizens as part of the Glenwood family. Located just 35 miles from the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge scenic area and just 90 miles from the Portland Metropolitan area, the Glenwood School District offers outstanding opportunities for optimum learning in a small school setting. The town is situated in a picturesque valley of forest and pasture land with spectacular views of Mt. Adams, a 12,000 foot snow-capped peak. At an elevation of 1,900 feet, the region supports an agriculture base of ranching, farm operations and logging. Tourism is growing in the area and helps support a restaurant/gas station, grocery store, and lodging facilities.

The Great Outdoos Awaits...
With Big City Amenities Close By

Life in Glenwood provides the best of both worlds.

White water rafting and kayaking excursions are just minutes away. At the same time, Glenwood residents are just two hours from Portland, Oregon—a big city that offers a wealth of experiences in everything from fine dining to the performing arts and a myriad of shopping possibilities.

Safe, Scenic, and Satisfying

The security and peace of mind of living in a safe, caring, supportive and considerate community is no myth—it's Glenwood—and it's part of everyday life. Glenwood is a great place to raise children and a place wherre you can relax, since there is actually a zero crime rate, no polluting industries, and outdoor activities year round. New residents—young and old—are welcomed and soon become part of the fabric and family of the Glenwood community.

Glenwood School Traditions

Glenwood School is distinguished as a school rich in local tradition, especially during the holiday season. Prior to Thanksgiving and Christmas break, students, staff, and invited guests come together to enjoy a festive, formal holiday dinner prepared by the school staff and served by one of the high school classes. This festive celebration includes music from the music department, poetry readings, art exhibit, and gift exchanges during the Christmas dinner. With a snowy backdrop and an abundance of good cheer, Glenwood offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Glenwood holds a long history of excellence in athletics as well as academics. The trophy cases are filled with awards and the gym walls are lined with district, regional, and championship banners.
