School Notes:
  • Bladensburg High School is a secondary school located in Bladensburg, Maryland.
  • The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district.
  • Bladensburg High School's history dates back to 1936, when the high school became a four-year school. Bladensburg's old facility was torn down after school let out for summer 2001; a new facility was built in its place and opened in 2005.
  • Bladensburg High School serves the towns of Bladensburg, Cheverly, and Colmar Manor.
  • Bladensburg has significant history in the political turmoil of the late 1960s and early 1970s, as well as athletics. In the late 1960s, Bladensburg and Fairmont Heights high schools began to be integrated for the first time after a period of resisting the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision. These efforts were prior to the 1973 court-mandated busing program. Busing was an attempt to integrate students from the Bladensburg/Fairmont Heights/Cheverly/Palmer Park areas. Several racial incidents at Bladensburg in 1969 and 1970 were large enough to draw an editorial in the Washington Post calling for calm. During that period, classes were formed in Asian and Black Studies to attempt to provide more understanding between students.
  • Bladensburg has a rich history of excellence in sports, particularly basketball. The school won Maryland State Championships in 1960 and 1973. Two brothers, Jay Buckley and Bruce Buckley, were the centers of those two respective teams. Former Utah Jazz star Thurl Bailey attended Bladensburg, as did Ebenezer Ekuban, current defensive end of the Denver Broncos.
