West Nation has got you covered when it comes to your favorite parts of your time as a Hilltopper, offering social and service events all year long! The organization is led by students, staff, parents, and guardians. West Nation builds community with events like Circle Drive and Post Prom, as well as service activities that allow students to come together to give back—including faculty appreciation, ACTS, and more. We are a 501C3 organization.
Some annual social events are included with your pass: past and potential events include Circle Drive Dance; Punt, Pass & Kick; Dodgeball; and Spring Fling. We also sponsor the Father Daughter Dance, Post Prom, and more!
We host several events under the title ACTS: Advocating Character Through Service. Students participate in Gratitude Day, Valentines for Vets, and President’s Day of Service.
We love to bring the Glenbard West Community together by supporting one another. We thank teachers with a Faculty Appreciation Dinner, sponsor the Live Life Well breakfast, and support the Glenbard Parent series. We also offer a lot of volunteer opportunities so parents can be a part of what’s happening at Glenbard West.
