South Carroll School was established in 1965 in Sykesville, Maryland as part of the Carroll County Public School system. The building is 205,000 square feet (19,000 m2).[2]

Students

After peaking in 2001, South Carroll High School's student population has declined in the last several years. Much of this can probably be attributed to the construction of new high schools in the county including Century High School, also in Sykesville, and Winters Mill High School in Westminster.
