Glenwood High School, also known as Old Glenwood School, is a historic school in Glenwood, Georgia that has been used in recent years as an alternative school.[2] It is located at 505 3rd Avenue.

It was constructed as a one-story school building in 1920 and expanded with a two-story addition in 1930 and 1933, and an auditorium was added in 1951.[3][2] It includes aspects of the Colonial Revival, Craftsman, bungalow, and Spanish Mission Revival architectural styles.[2] In 1996 a Georgia Heritage Grant was awarded to repair the school's windows.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1] As of 2017, it houses the Transitional Alternative Prep School.

The front entrance has a Spanish Colonial Revival-style parapet.[3]
