Glenwood High School (GHS) is a public high school in New Boston, a village located in Scioto County in the southern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. It is the only high school in the New Boston Local School District. Their mascot is the Tiger, and their colors are scarlet and gray.

New Boston school district was founded years ago. The previous buildings were constructed in the early 1900s, and consists of three schools: Stanton Elementary, Oak Street Intermediate, and Glenwood Junior-Senior High School. Though Glenwood currently houses grades 7-12, it was once the only school in the New Boston Local School District and houses all grades. The New Boston School District Boasts a 100% Graduation Rate and is one of the best schools in the state of Ohio. In 2008, voters of New Boston approved a 7.61 mil levy to build a new $20 million Pre-K through 12 school building on #1 Glenwood Tiger Trail. Used to be Lakeview ave. where the former Sun and Funland Pool once sat. The school purchased the land from the pool for $34,000. Local share of the $20 million school is only $3 million, and the rest is provided by the Ohio School Facilities Commission.

The school is scheduled to break ground in February 2010 and open in time for the 2012 school year. This will be the first new school building built for New Boston since 1906.

In 2009, the New Boston School District was identified by the Ohio Department of Education as being among the top 30 districts in the state for students with special needs.

There are ten school districts and eleven high schools in Scioto County along with one parochial school as well several private and community schools. The school's athletic affiliation is with the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) and the Southern Ohio Conference (SOC), which has sixteen member schools and is divided into two divisions (SOC I & SOC II) based on the schools' enrollment. The SOC includes teams from four different Ohio counties - Jackson County (Oak Hill High School), Lawrence County (Symmes Valley High School), Pike County (Waverly High School, Eastern High School, and Western High School), and Scioto County (Clay High School, Green High School, Glenwood High School, Sciotoville Community School, Valley High School, Northwest High School, Minford High School, Portsmouth West High School, Notre Dame High School, South Webster High School, and Wheelersburg High School).
