[edit] History
One of the oldest high schools in Charles County, Thomas Stone was opened in 1969.[2] Like Lackey High School, it was originally constructed with some classrooms underground. Thomas Stone was renovated in the late 1990s, increasing its capacity from 1250 to 1600.[3] With more than 1800 students, tt is currently the largest high school in Charles County, closely followed by North Point High School.
[edit] Cougarville
Few are sure of the exact origins of the nickname "Cougarville" but the nickname has entered into the vocabulary of both Thomas Stone students and staff. This nickname has become so popular that the official homecoming theme for the 2007-2008 school year was "Welcome to Cougarville".
