Our Community

Welcome to Glenwood, Iowa!

Welcome to Southwest Iowa! We would like to encourage all families and friends to check out our area and visit our communities. We have a lot of things to offer!

A Beautiful Rural Area...

There are lots of ways to explore southwest Iowa. Check out our natural resources, parks, and historic sites. Visit our local festivals including Keg Creek Days in Glenwood, Whistle-stop Days in Pacific Junction, and the Mills County Fair in Malvern.

Small Town Communities...

Glenwood Community School District serves the rural communities of Glenwood, Silver City, Mineola, and Pacific Junction. These communities welcome those who want to reside in a small town atmosphere while still enjoying the nearby cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs. It truly is the "Best of Both Worlds!"

Big City Lights...

Our school district is located 20 miles southeast of Council Bluffs, Iowa and 30 miles southeast of Omaha, Nebraska. Restaurants, pubs, galleries, shopping malls, performing art centers, sports arenas, and a world class zoo are just minutes away.
