  • 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.
