History
The school opened on 29 January 1996,[4] after a full amalgamation of both students from Inala State High School (30 January 1962 - 15 December 1995) and the Year 8, 9, and 11 students at Richlands State High School (27 January 1970 - 13 December 1996).[4] In 1997, all students from Richlands State High School were transferred to Glenala.[4]
Inala State High School
The school motto for Inala State High school was "Onward and Upward."[citation needed] In 1973, a student was killed, 13 others were injured, including the teacher, after a science experiment had gone wrong.[5]
Richlands State High School
As of 2007, the land where the school was once located, was a development site.[6]
In 2004, low motivation and attendance at Glenala was an evident problem, however after the brief eleven-week program "The Band Thing: Bringing New Styles," an improvement in 'student behaviour, focus and attendance' was seen.[7]
