Chopticon High School
Chopticon High School is a public high school located in Morganza, Maryland, United States. The school serves students in grades 9–12. It offers college preparatory programs and programs that prepare students for business and technical occupations. It serves the community in the northern portion of St. Mary's County, Maryland, between the Potomac River and Patuxent River. The area is mainly rural communities, with a recent rise in suburban development. Many of the families are employed by NAS Patuxent River, government contractors, St. Mary's College of Maryland, St Mary's County government, and traditional agriculture and water-related businesses.
Chopticon High School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Maryland State Department of Education. Chopticon also offers the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts (AVPA) and the Academy of Finance (AOF). Chopticon High School belongs to the St. Mary's County Public School System (or SMCPS) and is associated with two other county high schools: Great Mills High School and Leonardtown High School.
Chopticon High School was founded in 1965, as a replacement to Margaret Brent High School (founded in 1921 – now Margaret Brent Middle School).
Chopticon High School opened in 1965, named after the local Chopticon tribe of American Indians. The school blended students from Margaret Brent High School, Benjamin Banneker High School and Leonardtown High School, which had been segregated by race.
On August 3, 1984, custodian Lester B. Broome murdered teacher Beverly Jo Heater. Broome was hired despite being described as having “a known history of criminal battery, sexual violence, dangerous misconduct and theft.” In 1985, Broome pleaded guilty of murder in exchange for the prosecution to not seek the death penalty at a Prince George's County court.
In the early 2000s, the school established a committee to determine whether the school's mascot, the Braves, should be replaced. The committee determined that no action was necessary.
The high school made news in 2015 when, on May 20, several students broke in at 3:40 am and released 72,000 ladybugs throughout the school. The four students, who were seniors at the school, were charged with 4th degree burglary, property destruction under $1,000 and disruption of school activities.
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered at Chopticon, with an AP participation rate of 21% as of 2024. Extracurriculars are also available at Chopticon, including Future Farmers of America, band, and theatre, among others.
