Recent Move

This is the building that housed Dr. Samuel L. Banks High School from 2003-2006

In the 2006-2007 school year a number of BCPSS schools were shut down and forcibly relocated into different buildings or to close down completely due to the condition of some buildings. Dr. Samuel L. Banks High School was one of them. The school moved to 5001 Sinclair Lane from 2500 E. Northern Parkway. They moved into the building that was once occupied by Thurgood Marshall Middle School, while that school moved into portable buildings and phased out. Dr. Samuel L. Banks High School shares a campus with another high school, Thurgood Marshall High School. In its first year at the new location, the school's enrollment was 735; this decreased significantly to 561 during the next school year.

Banks is being shut down at the end of the 2008-09 school year. The school was targeted for closing due to its new media center and science labs, which have been earmarked for the incoming students of Maritime Academy.
