GlenOak High School is the high school of the Plain Local School District of Plain Township, which is located In, and around the city of Canton, Ohio, United States. The school derives its name from the combination of the former Glenwood and Oakwood high schools, which were merged by the district in the fall of 1975.
Plain Local recently finished construction of the new GlenOak Community Campus, a high school with a public library situated within the building. It incorporates an 'academy' design. Seven academies are within the school, as following:
9th Grade Academy; Arts and Communication Academy; Business and Marketing Academy; Environmental Sciences Academy; Health Sciences Academy; Human Services Academy; Industrial and Engineering AcademyThe new GlenOak is the first new school built by the district since 1968, when the former Oakwood High School (now Oakwood Middle School) was finished. The new GlenOak had been planned since the early '90s, but no action was taken until district residents, having rejected a number of bond issue requests in previous years, finally passed a bond issue in 2003 that funded the building. At the beginning of the 2006-07 school year, the new high school opened -- at which time the GlenOak Career Center, on the east side of the district, returned to its former name and became Oakwood Middle School, while the traditional high school building, centrally located in the district, resurrected its former name and became Glenwood Middle School.
GlenOak is part of the Federal League, an athletic conference that includes the nearby schools of Austintown Fitch High, Boardman High, Jackson High, Lake High, McKinley High, North Canton Hoover High, and Perry High.
The school mascot is the golden eagle. This, too, represents a combination of the former Glenwood and Oakwood high school traditions. Prior to the merger of those schools in 1975, Glenwood's teams were known as the Eagles, with school colors of red and blue, while Oakwood's were the Golden Raiders, with school colors of green and gold. When the schools were merged to form GlenOak, the mascot became the golden eagle, while Oakwood's school colors were retained. (Similarly, the district's former junior high school teams were once known as the Taft Senators and the Middlebranch Diamonds. Those names were discontinued when the district applied the "golden eagle" nickname and colors to all schools in the 1990s. Taft and Middlebranch -- the latter the original high school in the district -- became elementary schools in 2006.)
Notable alumni: Famous alumni include:
