25 Signs You Went To Glenbrook North High School
Nicholas and Associates

Glenbrook North (also known as GBN), home of the Spartans. Your four years here consisted of many ups, downs, sideways, and diagonals. Here are 25 ways you know you were definitely a Spartan at heart.


1. You freaked out when GBN's spelling mishap was featured on the Tonight Show.


"That's my school! That's my school!"


2. It was a huge victory when you could successfully sneak food out from the cafeteria without the ParaPros catching you in the act.



3. You knew the SAC was "reserved" for juniors and seniors (even though it was for everyone), but once you became an upperclassman, you acted like you owned the area.

"Sorry, no freshmen allowed."

4. Everyone you know looked forward to SpringFest because they were able to show off their new outfits and because of the infamous tacos in a bag, of course.

Straightened hair? Check. 6-inch wedges? Check. Crop top to show off my stomach? Check. Shorts that basically reveal my whole bottom? Check. Taco in a bag? Check.


5. You only looked forward to peer group because of the food.


6. You went all out during Homecoming assemblies and Loyalty Day.

"Fans on both sides! Show your Spartan Pride! We are...GLENBROOK! We are...GLENBROOK!"


7. You always bragged about the fact that the scene where a disguised Ferris picked up Sloane in Ferris Bueller's Day Off was filmed outside of the CPA (and also that the end scene in the Breakfast Club was filmed on the football field).

"Yeah, we're basically famous."


8. When the scent of cinnamon rolls from the Foods I class drifted into the hallway, you raced your way in there hoping you could snag one.

*floats into the room*


9. When the preschoolers walked down the hall, you basically melted into a puddle.

"They're so cute, I can't take it! I just want to mush their little faces!... Aw, look at her cute little dress!"


10. Late arrival days were your savior.


11. You avoided the bathrooms in the B hall like the plague because they smelled horrible and you never knew what would be in there.

"Alright, who didn't flush their period crap?"


12. You dreaded the CrossFit in gym class, when all of the P.E. teachers were staring at you and watching your every move.


13. But you felt extreme pride when you completed the 100 jump ropes, 50 squats, 50 burpees, 50 bicep curls, 50 sit ups, 4 minute standing spin bike, 5 laps, and 25 push ups in the 25 minute time limit.


14. You spent all 4 years wondering who was under the Sparty mascot suit.


14. You got super competitive when it came to football games against Glenbrook South.


15. Friday night blackout football games consisting of hot chocolate and snacks with your friends were the best.

You got to admit, the hot chocolate was pretty damn good.


16. The food court at Costco or La Taquiza became your go to's for open lunch.



17. Your gym uniform still smelled even after you washed it multiple times.

Those lockers in the locker room were pretty mysterious.


18. It made your day when the cafeteria ladies had extra cookies and gave them out for free.

Om nom nom...


18. Having SRT during block 6/7 was the best because you could go to any lunch you wanted and you basically had 2 1/2 hours of free time.


19. The pig fetus dissection in biology your freshman year was probably the saddest day of your entire high school career.

That pungent smell will forever remain in your senses.


20. The junior research paper drained the life out of you.

"So you're saying we have to active read all of our 22-page sources by tomorrow!?"


21. May Day was a HUGE day to show off.

"Roll wave!"

"Hook 'em!"

"On Wisconsin!"


22. You obsessed over the cutest ParaPro.

You know who I'm talking about. Whenever she dressed up as Mrs. Claus, you almost fainted from cuteness.


23. But you despised that other one.

You also know who I'm talking about. You couldn't sit in front of your class until exactly 7 minutes before it started. *eye roll*


24. You bought a new GBN Goes Pink Breast Cancer shirt every year, although they looked almost exactly the same.

You can never have too many of basically the same shirt.


25. You wouldn't change your experience at one of the country's best ranked schools for anything.

Once a Spartan, always a Spartan.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
