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.
