Brunswick High School (BHS) is an American public high school located in Brunswick, Frederick County, Maryland, United States. The school serves the communities of Brunswick, Burkittsville, Jefferson, Knoxville, Point of Rocks, and Rosemont.[3] There have been plans to demolish the current building and to build a new high school nearby.[4][5]

Overview

The school is near the Virginia border near the Potomac River, just off of Maryland Route 464, and a couple miles southeast of U.S. Route 340.

There are two gymnasiums, and a vocational technology wing including auto mechanics.
