La Reine High School
La Reine High School (LRHS) was an all-girls' Catholic high school in Suitland in unincorporated Prince George's County, Maryland, under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
Its students lived in Maryland and Washington, D.C.[1]
The school opened in 1960. In 1992 it closed, with its students going to Bishop McNamara High School, previously only for boys.[2] The school's stained glass windows, which were created in the 1950s, were given to Our Lady of the Presentation Catholic Church in Poolesville, Maryland.[3] The building was acquired by the county in 1994 as Drew-Freeman Middle School. It was demolished in 2021.[4]
