High School Fishing Club
Fallston High School is located in the town of Fallston, in Harford County, Maryland. The school is made up of three floors. On the first floor are located the main office, guidance office, media center, academic classrooms and the gym. The upper floor is exclusively classrooms. The basement holds the cafeteria, Music and Technical skills classrooms and the locker rooms. Computer labs are located on all levels.
School Schedule
The school schedule was changed for the 2006-2007 school year, and now operates on a four-period per day schedule, known as the "Block Schedule". Students are enrolled in eight classes for the year. Some classes will meet daily for a semester, while other classes meet every other day. This schedule provides longer periods of instruction with fewer class changes than the previous schedule.
As of 2007 the school day begins at 7:30 and ends at 2:00, with each class meeting for approximately 80 minutes, and including a 6 minute class change in between classes. There are 4 different lunches occurring during the 3rd period of each day, each lasting for 28 minutes.
History
With increasing population growth in this area of once-rural Harford County during the 1970s, the Board of Education determined the need for a secondary school to serve the youth of Fallston. Fallston High School was designed by Richard Ayres, architect, and built by Cam Construction Company at a cost of $10 million. The ground on which the school is built was formerly a dairy farm. The land was acquired from local Real Estate developer Mr. Joseph Diegert, with an adjacent four acres set aside as a new home for the Fallston Volunteer Fire Company. Fallston High School opened in November 1977 with a staff of 73 and a student population of 1400 in grades 6 through 10. The majority of the original Fallston students transferred from Bel Air schools. Initially the school was a combined Middle/High School but converted to being exclusively a High School with the completion of Fallston Middle School on an adjacent piece of property. Fallston High School was visited by President Reagan during his term as president on December 4, 1985.
