History

[edit]
Wicomico High School

In 1931, the school moved to its previous campus on East Main Street. The building was quickly outgrown, and in 1954 the current facility on Long Avenue was completed at a price of 1.5 million dollars, and was named Wicomico Senior High School. In 1995, it was renamed to Wicomico High School. The former high school building on East Main Street is now Wicomico Middle School. [3]

An administration building and an auditorium were added in 1975 and 1976. Additionally, extensive renovations were completed in 1995. At that time, Wicomico Senior High School was renamed Wicomico High School.

Susan Ward, an English teacher at Wicomico High School for 31 years, was recognized for her outstanding work in the classroom on March 21, 2007, when she was named 2007-08 Wicomico Teacher of the Year.
