History
As the second continuously-operated high school in Howard County (after Howard High School), Glenelg opened its doors in 1958.{{cite web|url=http://www.glenelghigh.com|title=Loading...|website=www.glenelghigh.com|access-date=21 November 2018}} The school is named for Glenelg, a postal village named after Glenelg Manor, which in turn was named after the town of Glenelg, Scotland.{{cite book|title=A Gazetteer of Maryland and Delaware, Volume 2|author=Henry Gannett|year=1906|page=36}}
The 22.79 acres of land for Glenelg was purchased from the Musgroves for in 1955 $9,117.40.{{cite book|title=History of Blacks In Howard County|author1=Alice Cornelison |author2=Silas E.
