It operates as part of the Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) system, serving students in grades 9 through 12. Established in 1954, the school underwent a significant transformation in 1987 when it became a magnet school under the leadership of Principal Joe Hairston, who served until the mid-1990s. This shift aimed to enhance its academic offerings and attract a diverse student body. The school is recognized for its focus on academic excellence, with a mission to develop literate, critical thinkers prepared for college and career readiness. As a relatively small educational institution, it employs approximately 27 staff members and generates an annual revenue of around $5.0 million.

The school has also hosted public events, including a 1988 speech captured in the C-SPAN Video Library. Key figures associated with the school include Monica Goldson, who has been highlighted in leadership roles within the PGCPS system. Suitland High School is ranked highly in local assessments, such as being listed as the top company to work for in District Heights, MD, by Zippia.
