# Bohemia Manor High School

Bohemia Manor High School is a public school operated by Cecil County Public Schools located approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the small town of Chesapeake City in Cecil County, Maryland, United States. This is a small school of 685 students which shares its campus with Bohemia Manor Middle School. This school serves the Maryland communities of Chesapeake City, Cecilton, Galena, Earleville and the parts of Elkton. The school is also known by the nickname Bo Manor.

## Origin of the school

The opening of Bohemia Manor High School replaced Chesapeake City High School and Cecilton High School. In 1949, the board of education considered consolidating Chesapeake City High School and Cecilton High School to form one high school to serve southern Cecil County. However it was not until 1956 that construction began. Construction was completed and the school opened in 1958. The final Chesapeake City and Cecilton High School graduation ceremonies took place during June 1958 and the first Bohemia Manor High School graduation ceremony occurred during June 1959. This brand new school would house grades 7th through 12th. The first Principal was Samuel Dixon. In 1996, grades 6th through 8th were made to form Bohemia Manor Middle School. Grades 9th through 12th would remain in Bohemia Manor High School.
The former Chesapeake City High School and Cecilton High School became elementary schools in September 1958 after the final high school graduation ceremonies in June.

### Origin of the school's name

In the 17th century, a surveyor named Augustine Herman made one of the first maps of Cecil County, where the school resides. In the 18th century, a plantation called Bohemia Manor was located only a few miles from the school grounds.
