Boonsboro High School (BHS) is a public high school (grades 9 to 12) in Boonsboro, Washington County, Maryland, United States.

Facilities

The present school building was created in 1958 and renovated in 1975 and 2006. The 1975-76 renovation changed the school from a campus of four buildings situated on a hill to one larger building that combined three of the four original buildings, plus the expanded shop building. The school's central feature is a ramp that leads from the varsity gym up to the cafeteria. The school stands at 140,486 square feet (13,051.6 m²) and enrolls approximately 990 students.

In sports, the school rivals Smithsburg High School and Williamsport High School in Washington County.

Academic recognition

Boonsboro High School was named in U.S. News & World Report's annual listing of the Best High Schools in the United States, earning a Silver Award for test scores consistently above state and national averages.^[1]

In 2013, Boonsboro was named as one of two high schools by the Maryland State Department of Education as a "Blue Ribbon School."
