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, Maryland, 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 m²) building that could house up to 1,500 students. The contract also approved of renovations and changes to the Mary D. Harrison Cultural Arts Center, which is attached to Northern High.[2] Construction of the main building was completed during December 2018, and classes moved to the new building in January 2019, while the administration wing was completed during the 2019-2020 school year.
