Fort Hill High School Principal: Steve Lewis Address: 500 Greenway Avenue School Motto : "Res, Non Verba" latin for "Deeds, Not Words" Initial school name options: Queen City High School, Potomac High School, Fort and Hill High School, and finally, Fort Hill High School. The decision to call the school Fort Hill High School was made by the Allegany County Board of Education on AUGUST 12, 1936 Reasoning behind the school name: Many people believe that the school was named because of battles that were fought on the schools grounds, but that is not completely true. Some "posts" were set up on hills surrounding "Fort Hill", but no post was actually where the school is set today. The "Fort" reference was derived from a civil war skirmish at Nave's Crossroads and was referred to as the "The Battle of Folck's Mill." The high ground above Folck's Mill was fortified by Union troops against Confederate forces. First year Enrollment: 1763 STUDENTS (6-12 grades during that year) with
