Glenelg HS is located in the western portion of Howard County, Maryland and is part of the Howard County Public School System, which is among the highest-ranked in the nation.

The school is located just west of Maryland Route 32, south of Interstate 70, and east of Maryland Route 97.

History

As the second continuously-operated high school in Howard County (after Howard High School), Glenelg opened its doors in 1958.[1] The school is named for Glenelg, a postal village named after Glenelg Manor, which in turn was named after the town of Glenelg, Scotland.[2]

The 22.79 acres of land for Glenelg was purchased from the Musgroves for in 1955 $9,117.40.[3] Glenelg opened as Howard County public schools were converting in a phased-in approach from segregated schools to integrated, one grade per year.[4][5][6] A 1965 cross burning onsite was an indication of the strained race relations of the era.[7]

The building itself has gone through many changes over the years to cope with the growing population of the west side of Howard County, including a new drama/music wing, and most recently with the construction on a new science wing and an addition to the cafeteria.

Students

Glenelg student body enrollment through the years has fluctuated due to many factors, including new housing construction and redistricting. The demographics show mostly white youth.
