History
Tom Glenn High School was established to accommodate rapid growth in the northern part of the Leander Independent School District. On August 7, 2014, the Leander ISD Board of Trustees voted to name the campus after Tom Glenn, who served as the district's superintendent from 1987 to 2007.[5][6] During Glenn’s 20-year tenure, the district grew from 4,600 students to more than 24,000.[4]
The $97.5 million campus was designed by Pfluger Architects and built by American Constructors.[7] The 436,000-square-foot facility opened on August 22, 2016, with an initial enrollment of approximately 582 students, consisting only of freshmen and sophomores.[4][8] A formal dedication ceremony was held in the competition gym on September 17, 2016.[8]
