John Glenn School Corporation is a school district headquartered in Walkerton, Indiana.[1] It is named after John Glenn.

It includes Walkerton and North Liberty in St. Joseph County.[2] It also includes territory in Marshall County.[3]

History

In August 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indiana, the district chose to enact a mask mandate.[4]

In 2018 a movement started where residents of Greene Township advocated for leaving the South Bend Community School Corporation and joining the John Glenn School Corporation.[5] By 2022 the John Glenn District was working to come to an agreement with the South Bend district so a voluntary district change would occur.[6]
