The area, not just the school
Glenbard East sits in the heart of Lombard, a DuPage County village of about 44,000 people that locals affectionately call the Lilac Village. The nickname is no marketing line: every May the town throws Lilac Time in Lombard, a sixteen-day festival centered on Lilacia Park and its hundreds of lilac varieties, complete with a parade that draws the whole community out. The area has the kind of established, leafy feel buyers look for, with the school right on South Main Street and longtime neighborhoods of single-family homes spread across the village.
For commuters, Lombard is genuinely convenient. The Metra Union Pacific West Line runs straight downtown to Ogilvie Transportation Center, with Lombard sitting roughly 20 miles from the terminal, so a workday trip into the Loop is a manageable train ride rather than a slog. Drivers have I-88 and I-355 close at hand, plus Illinois Routes 38, 53, 56, and 64, which makes the rest of the western suburbs and O'Hare easy to reach. The old rail corridors now live on as the Illinois Prairie Path and Great Western Trail, a real plus for anyone who bikes or runs.
Day to day, Lombard pairs that suburban quiet with real amenities. Yorktown Center and its surrounding corridor anchor the shopping and dining scene, and the village has seen steady reinvestment with newer residential and mixed-use projects. The housing stock skews toward owner-occupied single-family homes with a healthy share of married-couple households, the kind of stable, family-oriented base that tends to hold value.

The school
About Glenbard East High School
Glenbard East High School opened in September 1959 with a student body of 525 students and 28 staff members, serving Lombard families who had previously attended Glenbard West in Glen Ellyn. In the week before opening, a microburst struck the building, blowing out the east wall of the Tower section and delaying the start of school by two weeks. When students chose a team name that first semester, RAMS won out over Tornadoes and Apaches, adopted as an acronym for Right Attitude Means Success, and the student body selected red, black, and white as school colors. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in October 2009.
Glenbard East offers a comprehensive curriculum with a wide AP and dual-credit catalog, including more than 25 Advanced Placement courses plus dual-credit options through College of DuPage. For the Class of 2025, 63 percent of seniors took at least one AP course, and across 2024-25 the school logged 1,418 AP exams with 66 percent scoring a 3 or higher. Students can also enroll in career and technical programs at the Technology Center of DuPage.
Glenbard East competes as the Rams in the Upstate Eight Conference and is a member of the Illinois High School Association. The program's deepest state-tournament runs include a third-place Class 4A finish in boys basketball in 2010-11, a third-place boys volleyball finish in 2005-06, and a third-place Class 3A girls soccer finish in 2015-16, alongside numerous regional and sectional titles across its history.
