Introducing the New Varsity Boys Basketball Coach
It’s amazing how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the credit. This Is a famous saying by Coach John Wooden. I am honored and blessed to have been named the new Boys Basketball Head Coach here at John Glenn High School. The past few years I have had the opportunity to coach student athletes at both West Covina and Santa Fe High Schools. I am beyond excited to start my career here as an Eagle. I grew up in La Mirada but became a student athlete at basketball powerhouse Sonora High School. Our goal as a basketball program is to give maximum effort, play with passion, and put out a product that Eagle Nation will be proud of. I look forward to working with the amazing administration and staff here at John Glenn, but more importantly seeing the dynamic student body at the games this season. Go Eagles!!!
If you have any interest in joining the team, please reachout to Coach Abebe, Samabebe2692@gmail.com
Thank you,
Coach Samuel Abebe

Glenn High School Dress code
We will be introducing some lessons in classes over the next few weeks regarding our school dress code. In the meantime, please review the dress code below and help ensure that it is adhered to.
Appropriate clothing and grooming are required as mandated by California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Sect. 302; & BP 5595. The Board of Education requires all students attending district schools to be suitably groomed and to wear clothing that is neat, clean, safe, and appropriate for school activities. Garments that are known to support or encourage violence, sexually suggestive or distracting to instruction, gang affiliation, tagger/crew related, drug or alcohol use, criminal or immoral behavior, profanity, or which lack modesty are not permitted.
If at any time a student’s dress is such that it distracts from or disrupts the educational process, he/she will be given loaner clothing or may be required to return home to make appropriate changes in dress or grooming.
Students and parents are to understand that a school is an educational institution and that proper attire, footwear, and grooming are required at all times. Visible tattoos or body graffiti, whether permanent or temporary, are discouraged. An effort to conceal these must be made by the student. Although the school is responsible for reinforcing the dress code, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that students come to school properly groomed and attired.
