High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary educationIn the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
B-CC, Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School is a top high school situated in the United States. It is located in the heart of Bethesda, Maryland on East-West Highway, near the intersection with Wisconsin Avenue and serves the communities of Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Kensington and Silver Spring in Montgomery County. Established in 1926, B-CC is a comprehensive public senior high school with a full complement of challenging academics and innovative programs, including learning and academic disabilities education and English as a Second Language. B-CC has an honors program, an advanced placement program, and a signature program which is IB, the International Baccalaureate program.

Begun as a two-story, 14-room facility on Wilson Lane, B-CC High School opened in its current location on East-West Highway in 1935. New buildings or additions to existing buildings were constructed in 1937, 1952, 1959, 1966, 1970 and 1976. Then, in the summer of 1994, parents, teachers, administrators, business people, and other supporters of B-CC High School formed the Community Coalition for Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. Its charge was to re-engineer and refocus the high school in an increasingly urbanized and cosmopolitan area.
The extracurricular activity program at B–CC High School offers many opportunities for students to develop and expand their interests, talents, service to the school and community and active participation in school life.
