Edgewood High School (EHS) is a four-year public high school in Edgewood in Harford County, Maryland, United States. The school is located in the south park portion of the county near U.S. Route 40. Home to one magnet program and on the brink of opening another.
The former Edgewood High School building was 189,856 square feet (17,638.2 m2) on slightly more than 48 acres (190,000 m2) and according to Maryland state records, the primary structure was built in 1954. Since that time, it was renovated or added to five times, in the years 1958, 1967, 1969, 1975, and 1996. With the recent population growth in Harford County, combined with the expected population growth due to BRAC, it was decided to build a new school building on the same grounds. Completed in 2010, the new building is 268,000 square feet (24,900 m2) and increases the student capacity by 361 seats, to 1380.
The building was opened for the 2010-2011 school year. The demolition and removal of the former building was completed by the end of the 2010-2011 school year.
Music and the arts are programs at Edgewood High School. The school is known for its musical and theater productions, and in 2003, the Edgewood High School band was selected by Walt Disney World to perform there.
Edgewood's high school instrumental program currently has approximately 210 members, and the vocal program numbers approximately 120. The department also offers courses in music theory, as well as beginning and advanced piano, guitar, and percussion classes. The department produces two or three concerts per year for each ensemble, with the winter concert combining the ensembles, and the spring concerts divided by the parts of the department (orchestral, other instrumental, and choral).
