Linganore High School is an American high school in Frederick County, Maryland. It serves the eastern portion of Frederick County. The school's mascot is the Lancer and its colors are red and black.
Opened in 1962, Linganore High School Junior-Senior High School was built to serve the eastern section of Frederick County, including New Market, Libertytown, Mount Pleasant, Kemptown, Johnsville, Monrovia and Bartonsville. The first class graduated in 1963. For nearly 20 years, Linganore served students in grades 7-12. Eventually middle schools were opened to serve students in grades 6-8 and Linganore then became Linganore High School, educating students in grades 9-12. In its lifetime, the original school building had three additions, first in 1972 and again in 1983 and 1985.
The original building was razed in 2008 for the construction of the current school building, which was dedicated on August 12, 2010 and opened for the first day of the 2010-2011 school year on August 23, 2010. Linganore High School once held 8,500 students until 2010. Frederick County was redistricted due to the population size of students at Linganore.
The original building closed in June 2008 and was demolished for a new Linganore High School to be built on the site. During the two years the replacement building was being constructed, Linganore High School operated as the first school in the building that is now Oakdale High School. The new Linganore building was built for 1,600 students with a project cost of approximately $73 million, including the demolition of the original building and the furnishing of the new building. The architect for the new Linganore was Grimm + Parker. Oak Construction was the builder.
The new Linganore High School includes many contemporary construction features. Light and motion sensors are used to control lights in classrooms, offices, common areas, and hallways to reduce energy use. Permeable paving on some exterior walkways reduces rainfall runoff. A magnetic chiller, part of the air conditioning system, is the next generation of lower-maintenance systems. The new Linganore High School has many skylights and windows, so fewer lights have to be used and more natural light can be directed indoors. Eight full-size computer labs, some of which are tiered, provide opportunities for students to use software and online resources for research and classroom activities. When it was built, it was the most state-of-the art school in Frederick County.
