I am a current junior and had two schools to pick from and I chose this school based on their Bio Medical Engineering program which is a great program. We go on different field trips related to the program and this program really challenges you. The spots events are sooooo amazing. I just wish that their were more solutions to get more teachers in classes rooms

My experience at glen burnie has been interesting to say the least there have been some amazing moments and some absolutely dreadful moments. the best part about being a student at glen burnie is how we come together as a community to help one another and one of the worst parts are how some teachers teaching have a problem with seeing students happy.What I would like to see changed at glen burnie high school is how students are treated.

Glen Burnie is the only school build like a college campus with different buildings! The only bad thing is that our school is old but is currently in the process of being renovated. Our school mascot is also a gopher.

So this school district is going to change soon. The new Old Mill High School will be the new public High School for the homes in this area. They have a much better rating overall than Glen Burnie. Great improvement.
