===Westmar High School=== |
|||
Mountain Ridge High School was established as a result of the consolidation of [[Westmar High School]] and [[Beall High School]]. |
|||
Westmar High School was located in [[Lonaconing, Maryland]], and enrolled more than 400 from the [[Georges Creek Valley]], [[Westernport, Maryland|Westernport]], and the region surrounding [[U.S. Route 220]] between Danville and [[McCoole, Maryland|McCoole]]. The school mascot was the Wildcat and its colors were red and gray. Westmar came into being with the consolidation of Valley High School (of Lonaconing) and Bruce High School (of Westernport). Bruce closed in 1986, its students transferring to Valley High School. Bruce became a middle school. During the 1989-1990 school year, controversy erupted surrounding the school's name which remained the same following the consolidation, and a new name, Westmar High School, was chosen to better signify a unified Valley and Bruce in late 1989. Subsequently, Bruce Middle became Westmar Middle. In the fall of 2007, Westmar Middle relocated from its Westernport location to the Westmar High School building in Lonaconing following the closure of Westmar High earlier in 2007. |

====Valley High School==== |

Its doors opened in the fall of 1896 and was the first official high school of the Lonaconing area. Barton High School was located on Latrobe St. The mascot was the Black Knight, and the school colors were black and silver. |

It came into being with the consolidation of Valley High School (of Lonaconing) and Bruce High School (of Westernport). Bruce closed in 1986, and combined with Valley High School.

Bruce High School was the first official high school in [Westernport,MD|Westernport]. It was first located on Church Street where Westernport Elementary School is now. In 1957, Bruce moved to a new location on Philos Ave. In 1986, Bruce High closed and the building became the new Bruce Middle School. In 1989, Bruce Middle became Westmar Middle. |

Beall High School was established in the mid-1890s as the first high school of Frostburg. The first Beall High School was located at the corner of Loo Street (now College Avenue) and Broadway, where Beall Elementary School stands today. The first graduating class consisted of six female graduates in 1897. The original building was renovated in 1910, and expanded in 1930. By the late 1930s, the Frostburg community was in dire need of a much larger, newer facility. In 1939, ground was broken for a new Beall High School, located at 331 E. Main Street, in an area locally known as the "Eckhart Flat." The newer building is the one that most graduates and citizens of Frostburg are familiar with. It was considered an architectural wonder of its time with its [[Art Deco]] styling.<ref name="postcard">{{Cite work|url=https://ark.digitalcommonwealth.org/ark:/50959/w9505788g|title=Beall High School, Frostburg, Maryland|author=John Myerly Company|date=1930|place=Frostburg, Md.|publication-place=Hagerstown, Md.|via=DigitalCommonwealth.org|language=en-US|access-date=January 13, 2019}}</ref> |

In 2000, Beall consolidated with Mount Savage High School which is currently occupied by Mount Savage (K-8) School. The elementary school section of Mount Savage (K-5) houses students from the Mt. Savage region only. The middle school section (6-8) houses students from both Frostburg and Mt. Savage (all students living in the former Beall High school district). In 2007, Beall High School closed and the student body consolidated with that of Westmar High into the newly built Mountain Ridge High School, constructed at the site of the former Beall High School Stadium.<ref name="Beall-archive">{{Cite news|title=Emotions high at Beall : Frostburg school will be demolished to make way for Mountain Ridge stadium — Archive|last=Berry|first=Daleen|newspaper=Cumberland Times-News|date=June 2, 2007|place=Frostburg, Md.|publication-place=Cumberland, Md.|url=http://times-news.com/archive/x1540394606|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130204123351/http://times-news.com/archive/x1540394606|archive-date=February 4, 2013|access-date=January 13, 2019|language=en-US|url-status=live}}</ref> In the fall of 2007, Beall was demolished in order to make way for athletic fields for Mountain Ridge. |

The elementary school section (K-5) houses students from the Mt. Savage region. The middle school section (6-8) houses students from Frostburg and Mt. Savage (Old Beall District). Before Beall opened, there were many little community schools. |

Beall High School was established in the mid-1890s as the first high school of Frostburg. The first Beall High School was located at the corner of Loo Street (now College Avenue) and Broadway, where Beall Elementary School stands today. The first graduating class consisted of six female graduates in 1897. The original building was renovated in 1910, and expanded in 1930. By the late 1930s, the Frostburg community was in dire need of a much larger, newer facility. In 1939, ground was broken for a new Beall High School, located at 331 E. Main Street, in an area locally known as the "Eckhart Flat." The newer building is the one that most graduates and citizens of Frostburg are familiar with. It was considered an architectural wonder of its time with its Art Deco styling.[3]
In 2000, Beall consolidated with Mount Savage High School which is currently occupied by Mount Savage (K-8) School. The elementary school section of Mount Savage (K-5) houses students from the Mt.

The school mascot was the Mountaineer and the school colors were blue and gold.
