Evening High School

The Evening High School, located at 40 W. Oak Ridge Drive in Hagerstown, Maryland, is an alternative educational program operated by the Washington County Public Schools (WCPS) system. Designed to serve students who may face scheduling conflicts, personal hardships, or other challenges that prevent them from attending a traditional daytime high school, the program offers a flexible pathway toward earning a high school diploma. By providing instruction during non-traditional hours, the school creates a supportive environment for students to complete required coursework, improve their grades, and stay on track for graduation.

The program is structured to meet the academic needs of non-traditional learners while maintaining the same rigorous standards as the district’s comprehensive high schools. Because it serves as a critical resource for credit recovery and graduation advancement, the Evening High School emphasizes personalized support, smaller class sizes, and a focused curriculum. It plays a vital role in the local community by ensuring that students who might otherwise be at risk of dropping out have a reliable, structured, and accessible opportunity to achieve their educational goals and prepare for their future beyond secondary school.
