History

Gaithersburg High School was established in 1904. In 1951, a new school building was built. In 2007, a new wing was added to that building. From 2011 to 2013, a new school building was built on the grounds of the former, which was demolished with the exception of the parts of the building that were built in 2007. The pre-2007 parts of the old building were demolished and the new school building was integrated into the 2007-added parts of the building. The school's address from 1951 to 2013 was 314 South Frederick Avenue. Before 2013, the school building was sized at. On July 1, 2018, Cary D. Dimmick was appointed as the new principal of Gaithersburg High School, replacing Christine Handy-Collins.

2011–2013 renovations

In the summer of 2011, construction began on a new school building. The project added to the wing built in 2007 and included renovations to that wing. A limited amount of student parking was available at the time because the new building was constructed on the old student lot. The project was completed in time for the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
