# Dulaney High School

Dulaney High School is a secondary school in Timonium, Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. The school serves a generally upper-middle class suburban community, with students from Timonium and surrounding areas in Baltimore County. It is situated on 45 acres (18 ha) adjacent to Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens.

## History

Built in the early 1960s, the school graduated its first senior class in 1965. As of 2015, Dulaney had reported a total enrollment of 1,851 students. The school is accredited by the state of Maryland and is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling. There were 186 faculty members in the 2015–2016 school year.
Various proposals to renovate or replace the school building were made in 2016 and 2017. County officials budgeted $40 million in 2017 to renovate and air condition the facility, but the plan was rejected when parents contended that an entirely new school should instead be considered. In response, the then-County Executive proposed that the fiscal year 2019 budget include planning for a new high school to ease overcrowding at Dulaney and other area high schools. Funding was not forthcoming, however, and the Baltimore County Board of Education renewed its capital budget request for Fiscal Years 2020 and again for 2021. Included in the overall $216 million sought would be replacement buildings for Dulaney and Towson High School.
