South Carroll High School (SCHS) is a four-year public high school in Sykesville in Carroll County, Maryland, United States. The school is located near the southwest corner of Carroll County on Liberty Road between Maryland Route 27 and Maryland Route 97.

About the School

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. [MD Department of Assessments and Taxation [http://sdatcert3.resiusa.org/rp_rewrite/results.asp?streetNumber=1300&streetName=Old+Liberty&county=07&intMenu=2&SearchType=Street&submit4=SEARCH] ]

The school system's budget for fiscal 2009 includes $2.3 million for a fine arts addition, which will include an auditorium as well as fine arts classrooms. The current auditorium has long been considered sub-par compared to other auditoriums in the county.

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.
