Boonsboro High School (BHS) is a public high school (grades 9 to 12) in Boonsboro, Washington County, Maryland, United States.
Facilities
[edit]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.[citation needed] The school stands at 140,486 square feet (13,051.6 m2) and enrolls approximately 902 students.
In sports, the school rivals Smithsburg High School and Williamsport High School in Washington County.[citation needed]
Academic recognition
[edit]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.[2]

In 2013, Boonsboro was named as one of two high schools by the Maryland State Department of Education as a "Blue Ribbon School."[3]
Additionally, the Boonsboro Warrior Academic Team has dominated the Washington County Academic Tournament since the tournament's inception, undefeated from 2018-2022 and with a total of 13 wins since Coach Tracy Salka took over the team in 2004 until her retirement in 2022.[4] [5] [6] [7]
