History

As the second continuously-operated high school in Howard County (after Howard High School), Glenelg opened its doors in 1958. [2] The school is named for Glenelg, a postal village named after Glenelg Manor, which in turn was named after the town of Glenelg, Scotland. [3]

The 22.79 acres of land for Glenelg was purchased from the Musgroves for in 1955 $9,117.40. [4] Glenelg opened as Howard County public schools were converting in a phased-in approach from segregated schools to integrated, one grade per year. [5] [6] [7] A 1965 cross burning onsite was an indication of the strained race relations of the era. [8]

The building itself has gone through many changes over the years to cope with the growing population of the west side of Howard County, including a new drama/music wing, and most recently with the construction on a new science wing and an addition to the cafeteria.

Students

Glenelg student body enrollment through the years has fluctuated due to many factors, including new housing construction and redistricting. The demographics show mostly white youth.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association</span>

Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association (MPSSAA) is the association that oversees public high school sporting contests in the state of Maryland. Organized after World War II in 1946, the MPSSAA is made up of public high schools from each of Maryland's 23 counties and independent city of Baltimore, which joined the association in 1993 when its public high schools withdrew from the earlier longtime athletic league, the Maryland Scholastic Association (MSA) which was founded in 1919. The MSA had been composed of public high schools in Baltimore and private/religious/independent schools on the secondary level in Baltimore and its metropolitan area and the surrounding central Maryland region. It was one of the few state-level interscholastic athletic leagues in the nation composed of both public and private/religious/independent secondary schools. After the Baltimore City public high schools withdrew from the MSA, the remaining private/religious/independent schools conferred and organized two parallel regional/state-wide athletic leagues with sports competition and exercise activities with one for young men and the other for young women. These were the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association and the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland, which still exist today. All three state-wide athletic leagues, two for private/religious/independent secondary schools and one for co-ed public high schools exist today marrying on the proud traditions, memories and championships of the old Maryland Scholastic Association (MSA)—one of the oldest state athletic leagues for secondary schools in the country.
