Old Laurel High School is a historic former school building on Montgomery Street in Laurel, Maryland. Built in 1899, it was the original home of Laurel High School, and now houses a community center.[2]
Laurel High School was founded in 1899[3] with an enrollment of 59 students and four teachers. According to the city government, as reported by The Washington Post, the 1900 graduating class was all women.[4] The original school building is now the Phelps Community Center in Laurel. The cupola on top was used during WWII as a Civil Defense Aircraft Spotting Station for identifying enemy aircraft.[5] In 1965, the high school was moved to a larger building on Cherry Lane.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as "Laurel High School".[1]
