The new high school, which is expected to open by the fall of 2020, will be the largest in the state in terms of its size.

“It will have space for 2,400 students,” said Jack Smith, superintendent of Montgomery County Public Schools. “It will help the Germantown-Clarksburg area because of the tremendous growth that exists.”

Enrollment at the current school is about 1,300.

“I look forward to watching this building grow up out of the ground, four stories tall and 440,000 square feet of teaching, learning and opportunity,” Smith said.
