OVERVIEW
On January 27, 2022, the Board of Education directed that HCPSS initiate the
boundary review process outlined in Policy 6010 School Attendance Areas. This
review will include boundary modications to establish an attendance area for
New High School #13 and any related adjustments.
New High School #13 is scheduled to open for the 2023–24 school year with
a capacity of 1,658. The school is located near Mission Road and Washington
Boulevard (Rt. 1) in Jessup, within the current Hammond High School attendance
area. The communities located in the eastern part of Howard County are most

Changes in school attendance areas as a result of this process will take effect
