Public magnet high school in Forestville, MD.
Suitland High School is a public magnet high school located at 5200 Silver Hill Road, Forestville, Maryland 20747, long regarded for its Visual and Performing Arts magnet program. Suitland hosts the most specialized programs of instruction in the county, which includes the Center for Visual and Performing Arts magnet program, an International Baccalaureate (IB) magnet program, the Technical Academy signature program, the America's Choice School Design signature program, and the Academy of Finance. Suitland also hosted a third magnet program, the University High School, until this was eliminated throughout the school system in 2006.
Suitland High School is a unique campus within the school system, being divided into four facilities, with three separate physical buildings which together comprise the Suitland High School complex. The main building houses the majority of the school's academic classes. Directly ahead of the main building is the Annabelle Ferguson Auditorium. Directly behind the main building is the Visual and Performing Arts Annex, which is a former junior high school. Attached to the main building (but generally regarded as another facility) is the Jesse J. Warr Vocational Center, an addition which houses the school's Technical Academy, a vocational program offering different areas of training for eleventh and twelfth graders seeking career and technical education for entrance into the working world upon graduation from high school.
Dr. Joe Hairston was Principal from the school's inception as a magnet school in 1987 until the mid-1990s, when he left to be Superintendent of the Clayton County Board of Education in Jonesboro, Georgia, and later, Superintendent of Baltimore County Public Schools for 12 years.
Mark Fossett was Principal for more than a decade. Nate Newman has been principal since 2012 and Dr. Angelique Acevedo-Barron has been co-principal since 2016.
