History With the rapid growth of southern Carroll County, a new high school was required to alleviate overcrowding at the nearby Liberty High School and South Carroll High School. It was named Century High School because it was founded at the turn of the 21st century.
Academic Team Century High School currently has an academic team and regularly participates in the local TV show, It's Academic.
