Baltimore City College, Public high school in Central Baltimore, United States.
Baltimore City College is a public high school in central Baltimore, operating under the city school district administration. The main building displays classical columns and symmetrical windows that recall public institutional architecture from the 19th century.
The institution opened its doors in 1839 as one of the country's first public high schools. Over the decades, it moved several times before settling into its current location.
The building carries the city's name and welcomes students who come from all across Baltimore's neighborhoods. Daily use by hundreds of young people shapes the rhythm of the area around the school.
The campus sits in a central city neighborhood accessible by public transit. The school year follows the standard public school calendar with breaks in summer and during holidays.
The school appears on the National Register of Historic Places for its connection to the development of public education in America. Despite its name, the institution functions today as a regular high school rather than a college in the usual sense.
