History

Construction on the current facility began in 1976 and it opened for the 1977–78 school year. It replaced an earlier facility across the road from it built in the 1950s, that it shares athletic facilities with. The old high school became Prince George Junior High School when the new high school opened in 1977, and has since been renamed N.B. Clements Junior High School. Prince George High School was the first fully air-conditioned school in Prince George County. The building was expanded to add additional classrooms in the mid 1990s.

Prince George High School offers cheerleading, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, boys' volleyball, and girls' volleyball in the fall. They recently added a swim team to the mix of school sprts in the 2023-2024 school year. [3]

Alma Mater

The alma mater is the patronal song of Prince George High School.

Prince George we love but thee,
Faitful and true we'll be
Friendly to all in need
of a good deed.

To Prince George we do bow,
Of Prince George we are proud
We love our colors bright
Green, Gold, and White.

Now and forever
Dim though our paths may be,
Always remembering
Our pledge to thee
Never to be so proud,
Smile through our hopes and fears
Prince George we're true to you
Down through the years.
