<br />
In 1977, a team of Cam Dempster, Russel Krasey, Bill Mooney, and Lorne Ryall won the [[Reach for the Top]] national championship. After a season of about 300 hours of practice and question-writing per member, the team beat Selkirk, [[Kelvin]], and [[Deloraine]] in the provincial championships. At the national final, they defeated [[Dryden]] from Northern Ontario with a score of 535 points- which was believed at the time to be the highest tally by a winning team in the title game.<br />
<br />
Glenlawn's coach since 1971, Wilf Entz, continued with Reach for the Top until his retirement, and the school made another Nationals appearance in 1979. Glenlawn currently plays SchoolReach.<br />
