Linganore High School is an American high school in Frederick County, Maryland. It serves the eastern portion of Frederick County.[3] The school's mascot is the Lancer and its colors are red and black.[4]

History

Linganore High School Junior-Senior High School opened in 1962 and 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 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 project cost approximately $73 million, including demolition of the original building and furnishing of the new building. The architect for the new Linganore was Grimm + Parker. Oak Construction was the builder.

The new Linganore High School was dedicated on August 12, 2010, and opened for the first day of the 2010–2011 school year on August 23, 2010. The new Linganore building was built for 1,600 students,[5] which triggered a redistricting of students in Frederick County.[citation needed]

The new building included updated construction features not present in the original building. Light and motion sensors are used to control lights throughout the building, Permeable paving on some exterior walkways reduces rainfall runoff. A magnetic chiller, part of the air conditioning system, lowers maintenance needed. The new Linganore High School has many skylights and windows, increasing natural light that 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. Additional subject-specific labs provide opportunities to use specialized software. Interactive electronic "Promethean Boards" were installed in nearly all classrooms; they serve as projectors for computers and can be used in a chalk-chalkboard manner.[6] When it was built, it was the most state-of-the-art school in Frederick County.

Academics

Linganore is noted for its wide selection of Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as well as a high pass rate for those who choose to take AP exams.[7] A course guide for Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) can be found at fcps.org.[8] The school offers AM and PM Career and Technology Center classes.[9] Project Lead the Way and college-level technology courses are offered at LHS.

In 2014, Linganore graduates were awarded $11.4 million in scholarship money.[10] In 2015, graduates gained $7.5 million in scholarships.

Student life

Linganore High School Marching Band

The award-winning Linganore High School “Lancer” Marching Band is from Frederick, Maryland, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012.

The performing arts program has won over a dozen Maryland state championships in percussion ensemble, indoor guard, marching band, and music technology.[20][better source needed] In 2015, the band performed in Washington, D.C. at the National World War II memorial to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of the war. Speakers included Commander Jack Raquepau and Elinor Otto, known as the last "Rosie the Riveter."[21]

They have also performed at Walt Disney World and the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City.

Publications

The school paper is The Lance,[22] distributed to students free of charge.

The Talisman, Linganore's yearbook, is published by the members of the publications class. The school has every Tailsman in the school's archives in the library, along with scrapbooks alumni have donated.

Beginning in 2013, Linganore converted its morning announcements into a student-run broadcast show. Episodes of The Morning Announcements[23] are roughly five minutes long, up to 15 minutes if there is a special event, like student government elections.

Since 2022, the morning announcements have been produced by Principal Dr Michael Dillman and posted on YouTube.[24]

In 2015, the United States Department of the Navy moved the Linganore High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) unit to Governor Thomas Johnson High School. The program was at Linganore between 2003 and 2015 but was moved to be in a central location due to low enrollment.[25]
