Glenview High is an Australian television drama series produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation for the Seven Network between 1977 and 1978.

An early high school drama, English teacher Greg Walker (Grigor Taylor) transfers from the country to Glenview High, a tough high school in Sydney. He clashes with rebellious students Tony Moore (Brandon Burke) and Danny Smith (Brett Hinch [1]). Despite his toughness, Tony had a grudging respect for Mr Walker while Danny was only interested in being popular with the female students.

Other staff at the school were efficient yet sympathetic principal Margaret Gibson (Elaine Lee), and cynical science teacher Harry Carter (Bill Kerr) who regarded all students as the enemy.

Greg's home life was also shown. He moved in with his brother Tom (Ken James), who boarded platonically with flight attendant Robbie Dean (Rebecca Gilling) and the ditzy Jill Beamish (Camilla Rountree).

Many popular Australian actors had guest starring roles in episodes. They included:

The series was not a major ratings success and was not renewed beyond its initial season of episodes.
