About Our School

New Town High School opened in August 2003.  The two-story structure sits on a rolling, 64-acre site in northwest Baltimore County and contains 30 regular classrooms, 8 science labs, 3 art rooms, 3 music rooms, 4 technology classrooms, dance studio, and 2 family studies labs.  The school was built to a state capacity of 1,348 students. 

Based on the award-winning design, New Town High School is designed to be a comprehensive high school with a career academy component and ninth-grade “house” providing a welcoming, transitory environment for freshmen.  The school, which is built around a “main street” design popular in many modern high schools, features many enhancements to promote student achievement:

• A media center able to hold more than 18,000 volumes.
• 3 business computer labs, 1 math computer lab, 1 technology education computer lab, and other computer stations throughout the school.
• A 600 seat state of the art auditorium and a cafeteria that can seat up to 405.

The school also features many amenities not often found in many high schools such as a greenhouse, a radio studio, and a video production/television studio.  The full-service cafeteria features food courts. The school is also fully accessible to the disabled and equipped with both external and internal security surveillance systems.

Upon the school’s crest  are the words “Truth, Honor, Loyalty” and its motto is “Today we learn, tomorrow we lead”.  New Town’s school colors are burgundy and gold.
