Northern High School

Northern Garrett High School is a four-year public secondary education school located just North of Accident, Maryland, United States, that houses approximately 500 students from the northern end of Garrett County. It is part of the Garrett County Public Schools school district. The school mascot is the Husky and the school colors are royal blue and gold. Population The approximately 500 students of Northern High School come from Accident, Friendsville, Grantsville, and Route 40 Elementary Schools and Northern Garrett Middle School. Most students are from the towns of Accident, Friendsville, Jennings, Grantsville, and Finzel. School Days Students attend school for 180 days per school year starting from the last week of August through the end of May, and normally through the first several days of June as well. Five additional days are added to the calendar as make-up days. Due to the tremendous amounts of snowfall in Garrett County, it is not unusual for the school to need additional make-up days; therefore, they either add days at the end of the school year or during scheduled days off. The day is divided into 4 periods and a study hall period, which was reduced in 2009 from 7 periods in an effort to unify the county's two high schools, including Southern Garrett High School
