History edit
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.[needs update] 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.
