North East High School (NEHS) is a public high school in North East, Maryland on 300 Irishtown Road. It is part of the Cecil County Public Schools system.

History

[edit]
North East High School in 1906

North East High School was first begun in 1898 as a section of the town's existing schoolhouse. The first graduation ceremony was held in 1901. In 1906, the school moved into a newly constructed two-story building. The high school occupied the second floor, while lower grades were taught in the first floor.[2][3]

In 2021, the Cecil County government announced plans to combine North East High School and North East Middle School into a middle/high school complex.[4] The existing North East High School building will be demolished, and a new athletic complex will be built in its place. The project will cost an estimated $178 million.[5]
