St. Mary's County Public Schools
St. Mary's County Public Schools are dedicated to providing students with the tools they need to succeed in college, careers, and life. With a wide range of academic programs and services, we offer a tailored educational experience that engages students and aligns with their interests and aspirations.
We are particularly proud of our signature academic pathways, which include the STEM Academy, the Academy of Global International Studies, the National Academy of Finance, and the Academy of Visual and Performing Arts. These pathways allow students to explore their passions and develop the skills they need to succeed in the 21st-century workforce.
With a focus on rigor, relevance, respect, and positive relationships, our mission is to "know the learner and the learning, expecting excellence in both. Accept no excuses, educating ALL."
