Glenbard North HS district.

Glenbard North, known locally as GBN or North, opened in August 1968 at the corner of Kuhn Road and Lies Road in Carol Stream. It was the third of the four high schools in Glenbard Township High School District 87, joining Glenbard West, Glenbard East, and later Glenbard South. Burt Weber held the principal's post from 1971 to 1989, the longest tenure in school history, and the campus football field, Weber Field, is named in his honor. The North campus serves students from Carol Stream and nearby Glendale Heights, Hanover Park, and Bloomingdale.

Glenbard North is one of four schools in Glenbard Township High School District 87, one of the largest high school districts in Illinois with about 7,800 students. All four Glenbard schools offer Advanced Placement coursework and exams, and the district reports test scores and graduation rates that exceed state averages while keeping per-student operating expense below the state average for large high school districts.

Glenbard North's teams are the Panthers, competing in the DuKane Conference and in IHSA state tournaments. Wrestling is a flagship program: under longtime coach Mark Hahn the Panthers won the 2011 IHSA Class 3A dual-team state title. Boys and girls gymnastics each brought home multiple state championships, and football, which plays at Weber Field, has been a frequent state-playoff qualifier.
