Doris M. Johnson High School was a public high school located in the northeast area known as Clifton Park of Baltimore, Maryland.
It was formerly known as School #426 at the Lake Clifton Campus that was operational in the 2003–04 school year as a result of the breakup of Lake Clifton Eastern High School, into two smaller high schools. In 2005—2006 the high school was formally named Doris M. Johnson High School.[3][4][5][6][7] The comprehensive high school specializes in the law and leadership focus.
At the January 26, 2011 Baltimore City School Board meeting, school system CEO, Dr. Andrés Alonso announced that Doris M. Johnson would be among five schools to close at the conclusion of the 2010–2011 school year, pending board approval. The REACH! Partnership School that currently shares campus space with Doris M. Johnson will expand to utilize the newly vacant parts of the Lake Clifton campus.[1][2]
