Reservoir High School is a public high school in Fulton, Maryland, United States. It opened in 2002 and is part of the Howard County Public School System.[1] The school is named for its proximity to the Rocky Gorge Reservoir. The school's mascot "Gators" was selected by vote in 2001, with school colors of Orange and Blue.[2] [3] The logo and fight song were the same as those of the Florida Gators. In 2010, a cease and desist order was issued by the University of Florida, forcing the school to create a new logo.[4]

The school is located on Maryland Route 216, just west of U.S. 29 on 101acres shared with Fulton Elementary School, Lime Kiln Middle School, and Cedar Lane School. Reservoir follows the same general design as Long Reach High School and Marriotts Ridge High School.[5] Neighboring Howard County schools include Atholton High School, River Hill High School, and Hammond High School.

Feeder schools for Reservoir include Hammond Middle School, Murray Hill Middle School, Patuxent Valley Middle School, and Lime Kiln Middle School. Reservoir is also well known for its work with and support for students at Cedar Lane School.
