History

The school was opened in 1964 as Pikesville Senior High School with grades 9–11 and was renamed in the mid-1980s as part of a countywide grade realignment.
The school received a $40 million renovation, including a math wing and science wing that replaced a single hallway of rooms and adjacent courtyard. The other courtyard was filled with more learning spaces. The cafeteria was expanded along with asbestos removal.
On July 8, 2023, 45-year-old Lakisha Wheeler was fatally shot in the Pikesville High parking lot and was pronounced dead on arrival.
In April 2024, athletic director Dazhon Darien was arrested for using artificial intelligence to impersonate a principal on an audio recording that included racist and antisemitic comments. Darien faces charges that include theft, disrupting school activities, stalking and retaliating against a witness.
