About the school
[edit]Dundalk High School is located on Delvale Avenue in Dundalk, which is in the southeast part of Baltimore County and has roots back to 1888.

In 2010, the school district began construction on a new building to replace the aging infrastructure. The new facility opened on August 26, 2013, and houses both Dundalk High School and Sollers Point Technical High School.[4] The new facility is modern and incorporates many environmentally beneficial features, such as automatic on-off lighting.
