Northern High School (Owings, Maryland)
History
Northern High School opened halfway through the 1973-1974 school year.
On July 26, 2016, the Calvert County Board of Education awarded a replacement contract to J.A. Scheibel Construction Inc. of Huntingtown, Md., for the total replacement of Northern High School. This project was expected to cost $69,382,000 and be completed in December 2018. The phased construction was to implement a 244,090-square-foot (22,677 m) building that could house up to 1,500 students. The contract also covered renovations to the Mary D. Harrison Cultural Arts Center, which is attached to the school. Construction of the main building was completed in December 2018, and classes moved to the new building the following month. The administration wing was completed during the 2019-2020 school year.
