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. 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. 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.
