History
B-CC High School was founded as a two-story, fourteen-room facility on Wilson Lane in 1926. In 1935, the school opened at its current location on East-West Highway in a {{cvt|44,995|sqft|sqm}} building designed by Howard Wright Cutler.{{cite news | last1 = Offutt | first1 = Bill | title = The long, and generally happy, history of B-CC (Part 1) | url = http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1998/199844/bethesda/news/a45914-1.html | work = The Gazette | date = November 4, 1998 |access-date=January 29, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190130053236/http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/1998/199844/bethesda/news/a45914-1.html |archive-date=January 30, 2019 |url-status=dead}}
From 1946 to 1950, the B-CC building was used as the first home of Montgomery Junior College—today's Montgomery College, the county's public community college.Donnell, Thomas J. O.

In the summer of 1994, parents, teachers, administrators, business people and other supporters of B-CC High School formed the Community Coalition for Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. Its charge was to re-engineer the high school to better suit its increasingly urbanized and cosmopolitan area. CC-B-CC representatives were encouraged to think broadly and innovatively to create programs that would lead B-CC High School and MCPS into the twenty-first century.{{cite news | last1 = Schulte | first1 = Brigid | title = At Md.

Because of this effort, from 1999 to 2002, B-CC High School underwent a $41 million comprehensive modernization project that, among other things, combined the historic 1935 and 1936 structures into one building. It had a {{cvt|213,499|sqft|sqm}} addition, {{cvt|94,716|sqft|sqm}} of renovations of the original 1935, 1936 and part of the 1950 buildings, and {{cvt|158,526|sqft|sqm}} of demolitions of most of the 1950 building, 1952, 1959, 1966, 1970, 1975, and 1976 buildings. This brought the campus area to {{cvt|308,215|sqft|sqm}}.
In 2018, B-CC opened a {{cvt|94,407|sqft|sqm}} addition with 34 new classrooms, a new dance studio, and more offices, bringing the campus to a total of {{cvt|402,622|sqft|sqm}} of area.{{cite news | last1 = Gaines | first1 = Danielle E. | title = Take a Look Inside the New Addition at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High | url = https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/schools/take-a-look-inside-the-new-addition-at-bethesda-chevy-chase-high/ | work = Bethesda Magazine | date = July 27, 2018}}
