GLENELG HIGH SCHOOL

'Glenelg High School' is located in the Western portion of Howard County, Maryland. The second school in Howard County, after Howard High School, Glenelg opened its doors in 1958. The original county championship trophy was called the "Elgard", a combination of the names of both county schools. The building itself has gone through many changes over the years to cope with the growing population of the Western part of Howard County, including the addition of six portable classrooms, which have since become permanent, a new drama/music wing, and most recently construction on a new science wing and addition to the cafeteria have been started.
Glenelg High School has a current student body of just over 1200. Glenelg was recently ranked as the 955th school in the nation by Newsweek's Top 1200 Schools list.
Notable facts about Glenelg include the distinctive use of cowbells at sporting events, stemming from the olden days when bells on the cows from the farm adjacent to the athletic fields could be heard during games. Also distinctive trait is the "Senior Run" or "Senior Stampede". This is when all of the graduating seniors run through the school and bang on doors and lockers, and generally create a fun-spirited ruckus. One trait that is not necessarily a good one, is the lack of parking at Glenelg High School. The addition of portable classrooms and the recent construction has taken up even more of the prized spaces.
Known around Howard County as the "hick/farm school", Glenelg High School does not have a very diverse student body. Colors are scarlet and black, mascot is the Gladiator.
